7 ways to stay fit

Fitness can be a real good fun if you include interesting and variety of exercises in your exercise plan. Believe me, there are thousand of activities to workout. So be good in your selection of few from those thousands, simply for the reason that you are more likely to stick with a workout that you really enjoy! However just for your convenience i am jotting down 7 point for exercises that do interest the majority of people and help them stay fit! Some are necessary, and for some you can find substitutes/alternatives. So here are 7 ways to stay fit:

1. Get a Fitness Instructor : Why? Well, if you have set some fitness objectives or if you need some help staying focused on your goals then fitness instructor is the best choice. They are qualified instructors, they know their job, they know how to assess your current fitness level, and they know what exercises and programmes are suited best to your fitness needs. They can also motivate you to stay focussed and tailor a suitable programme for you. Alternatively, your wife/husband, friends who really have a good effect on you can take place of fitness instructor to some extent. But professional is the best.

2. Join A Gymnasium/Fitness Center: There is no other venue like a gym or a fitness centre if you would like to have lot of variety in your fitness plan. There are lot of machines, weights, exercises plus professional coaches/instructors to help you use those machines. Of course, things depends on size of the gym. You may get wide range of exercising activities such as aerobics, dance, body toning, power workouts, sauna, jacuzzi, steam room and massage. Getting relaxed and being revitalized is equally important.

3. Water Exercise : Water is such a good platform for all around fitness. If you have ever noticed, swimmers have such a streamlined body and they are great examples of how good it is to exercise in water. Water offers resistance. So exercising in water build strength and endurance while aiding stamina and suppleness. For much concerned people who have problems with their joints, well water’s buoyancy also reduces the impact on your joints. For this particular reason, water exercise are best suited for over-weight people and people with back n joint problems. Swimming is the most common exercise and it’s the best. But there are two other exercises in water and believe me they are so much fun. It’s the conventional aerobic dance classes and water polo like sports. Fun while exercising, well nothing like that.

4. Get Some Exercise Video : Nothing much to explain here. It’s just that you get some exercise videos that are actually very easily available. There are many styles of exercise videos but get the one which you think is better than the rest. The only word of caution, do not get an old video. Only the up-to-date videos. Old videos of 90’s etc. have been proved dangerous and she not be done. So just select a video that you think complements your fitness objectives that you had set.

5. Walking Club: You must have heard about lot of laughing clubs. It’s time you started a walking club. Try involving your family, friends, neighbors in a walking club. Go for usual walks. Or everyday let one of the member o some research and take the rest of you to some museum or some historical place or adventurous place and let it be a guided tour kind of thing. Take different routes or you can even include hilly or rough terrains. All the time interacting with your walking club members, you will find that it’s a good social way to make friends, and get that fitness level rising and still having lot of fun.

6. Outdoor Sports: This is really too much fun which can be done occasionally. Take an outdoor sport like skiing, sailing, rock climbing, windsurfing, horse riding, canoeing, rowing, boating and there so many endless sports one can go for. They are so much fun, so much refreshing and helps you keep your fitness to the best level. Depending on your skill level, get some outdoor sports every now and then.

7. Dancing all the way: Social parties, dancing parties, well here is your chance for all around fitness. Never hesitate to dance in such social settings. If you do not know how to dance, then join some classes. There are various forms of dances right from ballroom dancing to jazz and tap dancing. It’s real fun. Learn to dance with partner or no partner. There is dance for singles, couples and groups. So dance your way onto building fitness.

Don’t think exercise is such a boring thing. It’s fun. Just chose the exercise that really interests you and get a Healthy Body and a Healthy Mind. Take care and stay fit.
