So you've started off the new year with a bang and gotten into an exercise program. Thats great! But after 2 full months are you getting bored? Spice it up with different activities...you don't always have to lift weights, use the treadmill, etc. Eventually you will plateau with your workout if you don't change it up. Here are some thoughts:
If you belong to a gym or a public recreation center, grab a swimsuit and swim some laps, run in the swim lanes or lift "weights" in the pool.
Take up a new exercise class and get out of your comfort zone. Zumba seems to be all the rage lately and spin classes are a hit as well. Look into kick-bocking, belly dancing, tai-chi, step aerobics and yoga or pilates.
Not into classes? Pick up a jump rope or a hula hoop for a solo activity. When was the last time you did a set up jumping jacks? Or grab a basketball or tennis racket and get a game started for a more social scene. There are indoor soccer leagues around the Denver area as well.
Want a complete change of scenery? you can get plenty of exercise outside of the gym as well. Take a walk along one of our many trails in Denver (or go into a mall to avoid the cold and snow) or go snowshoeing in the high country. Pick a night with some friends and go bowling (even Wii bowling at a friends house burns calories!) or find an indoor skating rink (ice or roller). Dancing- any kind- is also a great way to get fit.
Hope you can add some fun into your exercise program!
