Exercising and staying fit doesn’t have to mean hard work. Simply being active
will help you get or stay in good shape. So with that said, here are some enjoyable
activities that can help with your fitness goals too.

Bicycling

When you ask many adults when the last time they rode a bike is, they cannot
answer. Although bicycling is a favorite pastime, many adults do not take advantage
of this great option for exercise. Not only does bike riding exercise the body
and build a stronger cardiovascular system, it allows you to get out and enjoy
nature, fresh air, and see new sites.

Jogging or Walking

Both jogging and walking are GREAT ways to get fit. Not only do they tone the
muscles, relieve stress, create a healthier heart, and improve lung capability,
they make you look wonderful, which in turns helps you get excited about doing
other exercise for fitness activities.

Swimming

Swimming is an excellent way to get into and stay in shape. If you do not own
a pool, many high schools have aquatic centers, or there is always the YWCA
or YMCA, or your local gym. Many offer water aerobic classes that will help
you tighten your body, lose weight, and get a good overall workout.

Tennis Anyone?

Tennis is not only a fun sport, but also a great way to exercise. You do not
have to be a Venice Williams to play; in fact, you do not even have to be good.
Just running after the ball alone will help get you into shape. This is a great
way to strengthen your cardiovascular system and lose weight. You can find tennis
courts in just about every city and if you would like to play but have no idea
how, lessons are reasonable.

Tip: Raquetball is sort of a “one person tennis”. If you don’t have someone
to play tennis with, or you aren’t feeling sociable, try raquetball instead.

Dancing

Dancing is so much fun and whether you enjoy a slow, Ballroom dance or a nightclub
packed with people all moving to heart-pumping techno, as long as you are moving,
it really does not matter what type of dance or music. The whole idea is to
move your body. Dancing has long been recommended as an avenue to fitness.

Tip: Belly Dancing is an excellent workout for your stomach, waist and hips
ladies!

VCR

If you have a VCR or DVD, rather than just using it for your favorite comedy
or action-packed movie, try sticking in some good workout tapes. Even taking
15 minutes every day to work out will get you started. Try that for two weeks
and you will be surprised at the results. Once you see that 15 minutes a day
makes a difference, you will be encouraged to increase the time spent.

And one of my personal favorites… Yardwork!

Whether you’re pulling weeds, planting flowers, mowing the grass or chopping
wood: All of these activities can help you get into better shape. Don’t cheat
yourself though. Using a riding mower to cut the grass won’t help you use the
muscles or get your blood pumping

So go out and get active, have fun, and work on getting or staying fit too!
