Motivation for fitness comes in many ways. It can come via disgust with ones body, pressure to be trim, necessity to be stronger, or eagerness to win. These motives although, not all good, are real and often the inspiration for folks to start sweating. Why not choose a motivation that is truly motivating though? You know … fun! Fun is the way most folks describe things they like to do , right? Right! So I’d like to you do some soul searching, then some creative searching for local opportunities and then pick some sort of physical activity you think will be fun!
I did. About a month ago, I decided to thumb through the local Continuing Education Guide, which is published by the nearest community college. I stumbled across a variety of fun choices like Irish Step Dancing, African Dance and Fencing, but what really caught my eye was a course called “Aerial Dance”. The course description said I’d get to fly through the air on a trapeze and do twisty turny things on fabric. This four week course sounded fun so I signed up on a whim, and I can honestly say that I am having genuine laugh-out-loud fun. It’s physically challenging, but it makes me happy. Really happy.
So do as I say and as I doand go find some sort of fun fitness training that will make you giggle while getting you in to shape. Below are some fun things you might consider trying out!
- Snowboarding
- Surfing
- Synchronized Swimming
- Skating
- Dancing – Ballroom, African, Step, Break-dancing, Ballet or Hip Hop
