Summer is just around the corner which means fun in the sun but it can be heard to stay healthy and motivated to keep active so here are 5 fun different ways to exercise and spice up your workout life!
1. Rollerblading- Rollerblading can be a fun alternative way to work out unlike regular outdoor aerobic exercises such as jogging and helps work out muscles such as hamstrings and quadriceps. Just to be safe though I would recommend to wear protective gear when rollerblading to help prevent injury. So grab your skates and friends and start now!
2. Cycling- Cycling is a great activity to try out with friends and family and it also allows you to do exercise while exploring new treks and routes each time. Cycling is a low impact way to workout which helps improve leg strength and loose body fat. If you decide to go on long rides be sure to stay well hydrated and to always wear a helmet. Try it out now and work out and feel good.
3. Skateboarding- Skateboarding is a exciting workout to try out, even if your not a professional skateboarder who’s down at the skate park, it’s a great alternative to exercise for everyone to try. Skateboarding offers a full body workout as you are using all aspects of your body such as arms, leg and core when skating. Make sure you wear protective gear however to help prevent injury especially if your not at a gated area such as a park. So grab your board and start skating you never know you might be good at it.
4. Hula hooping- Bring out your inner child and try out hula hooping, a fun addictive exercise that may seem childish but trust me it’s so fun when you doing it. Also it’s a great way to exercise your leg, arm and core muscles especially if you buy a weighted one. You can even invite friends and family over and try having competitions for who can do it for the longest, its super fun and super easy to do.
5. Yoga- Though it may seem challenging, it is the perfect time to start trying it out because not only is it great for improving muscle toning and strength which is great for right before summer but it is also good for flexibility. Also as it is starting to get warmer we are more likely to be limber so it is therefore easier to do certain positions and poses. Also why not get a tan when working out?! So roll out your matts whether that be down at the beach, in your garden or down at the local park.
With all these exercises make sure to stretch before and use/wear appropriate gear when needed. Also stay well hydrated as summers coming which means it’s going to be hot, hot, hot! Hope these were some helpful ideas to help you keep motivated and active and let me know what your favourite workouts are to do !
Until next time
