Getting fit can be a bit of a chore. Going to the gym forces us to summon up more motivation than we sometimes have. Plus, some of us feel self-conscious working out in front of others, or are simply bored of the rowing machine! Getting fit should be fun. That’s the only way we’ll actually stick to any fitness routine. Add some enjoyment to your exercise with by trying these workouts…

Boot Camp Style Obstacle Courses
Who said obstacle courses were just for kids? An obstacle course, or circuit, is a fun way of packing loads into a workout. Move from one exercise to the next and time yourself at each stop. This type of workout is best performed outdoors. You’ll need the space, but it’s also more fun to do this outside. Challenge yourself to increase the amount of reps at each stop on your course weekly. Circuit style courses are great cardio exercises and will increase your strength and stamina. Include some jumping jacks, lunges, push-ups and tricep dips in your circuit.
Dancing
Getting fit through dancing is nothing new, but it is seriously fun. Zumba classes are becoming so popular. This aerobic workout is a great way to shed some weight, have fun, and work on your footwork! Zumba incorporates movements from all types of dance from salsa to flamenco, ballroom dancing to street style dancing. Not only does dance help you to work on your poise but it can tone up your abs, thighs, and glutes. It’s a fun way to meet new people and get fit whilst socializing.
Hula Hooping
Hula Hooping is a fun new fitness trend that can be done indoors or outside. It works by exercising and tightening your core muscles. Over time, hula hooping can tone abs and improve balance too. These hoops are a fuss-free way of exercising. Invest in a hoop, clear a space, and get spinning! The great thing about this exercise is you can have a chat whilst you workout.
Trampolining
Similar to hula hooping this is a fun way to get fit without even realizing it. Trampolining is actually a great alternative for those looking to put less pressure on their joints and muscles. The low impact nature of this workout means that you can bounce away without straining muscles.
Skating and Rollerblading
Dust off your skates if you want a seriously fun workout. Skating and rollerblading is an aerobic exercise which will tone your bum, encourage good balance, and work stomach muscles. This is a really fun exercise to do as part of a group. Get your friends together on the weekend and head to the park for a fun and effective workout session. With these fun workouts and inspiration there’s no reason not to get out there and get fitter!
