Fun and Easy Exercise

Everyone knows that regular exercise is good for your health. Without regular physical activity, we increase the risk of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and even heart attacks. We can put on weight, which can make it even harder to exercise. But who has time for boring exercise? I mean, do you really want to walk on the treadmill for 30 minutes every day? How boring!

The good news is that there are fun and easy ways to exercise. There are daily activities you can easily integrate into your life so you won't feel like you're exercising at all. However you will still be getting that physical activity your body needs.

The best thing about fun physical activities is that if you find activities you enjoy doing, you will keep doing them. Instead of starting something and in a week deciding you don't want to do it any more, you'll look forward to doing it. That's the key to regular exercise!

So, what kind of “exercise” is fun and easy? That can be a personal choice. After all, what you find fun may not be fun to someone else. Easy depends on your current level of physical fitness. To stick with an exercise plan, it's extremely important to find out what works best for you. You know what you like and how your body feels after you do certain types of activities. Listen to what it's telling you and you'll find the exercise that's perfect for you.

To get you started, here are some fun and easy ways to increase your physical activity.

· Turn on your favorite music and dance around to your favorite tunes

· Go for a walk around your neighborhood

· Play tag with your kids

· Join an activity group

· Play charades

· Fly a kite

· Play miniature golf

· Walk on the beach

· Tour a museum

· Go for a bike ride

· Play Frisbee

· Housework (OK, this may not be “fun,” but 15 minutes a day will get you 15 minutes of extra exercise!)

As you can see, there are plenty of things that you can do that aren't too strenuous, but are fun! Find enough of these activities that you can fit into your week and you'll have no problem staying physically fit. Having fun while exercising...it doesn't get better than that!
