5 Ways to Have Fun as You Get Fit
5 Ways to Have Fun as You Get Fit
There are some things we do because we want to live our best lives. Getting fit is one of them. It isn’t necessarily a fun thing to do if you just force yourself to eat right and do boring exercises every day.
If you don’t approach it from a place of enthusiasm, it will be very hard for you to maintain any sort of consistency over the course of weeks, months, and years. Instead, you’ll begin to dread doing it and you’ll procrastinate and avoid it whenever possible.
Walk in Interesting Destinations
Walking on a treadmill in a gym is unbearably boring. Nobody likes getting in shape by walking the same speed on a flat surface staring blankly at the wall, at best with music coming in through headphones.
It makes things tedious, and when you have to do something tedious, more often than not you’re going to stop doing it. If you really want to commit to fitness and not be bored to death while doing it, get outside and walk in some interesting places instead.
There are so many good places to walk all around the world. No matter where you live, you’re bound to have some place good not too far away and have fun while you get fit. One common place is the park.
Almost every city or town has a park that you can go visit, and they often have dedicated paths and trails just for people who want to run or walk around. You can park and go through that whole path and it might end up being over a mile before you even realize it.
Some cities have botanical gardens open to the public, and this is a great option, too. They’re essentially much nicer parks, full of flowers and beautiful trees. Having this scenery makes the long walk so much more bearable because you’re actually seeing things that you like, and as the seasons progress, you’ll be able to see all the flora changing.....
