subject: 3 Ways To Stay Active And Have Fun Doing It [print this page] If you think that going to a gym a few times a week just doesn't suit you, then you'll need some other ways to keep active in your life. Being a couch potato will definitely not help you burn fat and lose weight. Here are 3 activities you can do to have and get some good exercise.
Activity #1: You're It!
Playing tag is a great way to have some laughs and get some good exercise. Running away from others at full speed is sure to fire up your metabolism and give you a good workout. This activity is especially fun if you have kids to chase around (and be chased by).
Activity #2: Head To The Beach
Going to the beach is always fun and there's a lot you can do to get exercise as well. Go for a swim every few minutes and swim hard, don't just wade. Or bring a frisbee or volleyball with you so you can run around in the sand and play back and forth with your friends.
Activity #3: Go Dancing
Many kinds of dancing can be an extremely good workout. Consider signing up for a class in your area. You'll learn a fun new skill and maybe even meet some really nice people to hang out with. As long as you're not doing a really slow dance, this will burn a lot of fat.
The trick to getting and staying healthy is to find things that you like doing that are good for you. Be creative and think of some more ways that you personally would love. Everyone's different, so come up with your own fun activity if you'd like!
