It can happen to the best of us—we can find ourselves bored with our workout, and unmotivated to get up and get moving when the time comes. The great news is that working out doesn’t have to be boring, or even a chore. It’s all about choosing a fun workout that you get excited to do. The trick to working out is finding something that makes it feel like you’re not actually working out. Don’t believe it? Take a look at some of the best new workouts to try that are just plain fun.
Pickleball
Believe it or not, pickleball doesn’t involve any pickles. It’s one of the most popular sports in the United States right now, and for a good reason. Pickleball used to be popular once upon a time, then its popularity dropped over the last few decades. However, now there is a huge increase in players and plenty of people getting into it.
Pickleball is a lot like tennis, or badminton, being that it has a net. However, it’s not quite the same. Unlike tennis, pickleball involves a wiffle ball, a flat paddle and a smaller court. It’s incredibly fast-paced, which means you’ll be running all over the court attempting to beat your opponent.
You’ll be running around so much that you won’t even notice how much exercise you’ve actually gotten because you’re having so much fun. The best part is, it’s a pretty affordable sport. All you need is a good pair of shoes and a ball and a paddle.
Roller Skating
Roller skating is not just fun—it’s downright awesome. It’s a fun way to get your body moving and have fun while listening to music. Whether you go to the roller rink, or you decide to skate outside, it’s a great opportunity to let your inner disco queen thrive.
There are many different styles of roller skates that you can try out too. The best part is that roller skating is best enjoyed with your friends. If you’re looking for something social then look no further than lacing up some skates.
Dancing
Let’s face it— who doesn’t love letting loose and dancing? The best part about dancing is that there are many different kinds to choose from, and you can do it in your home, or in a dance club. If you’re looking for something more structured, then you might want to join a dance class like Zumba, or even salsa. Whatever you do, make sure that it’s music that you actually enjoy listening to. If you’re enjoying the sounds that you hear, you’re much more likely to let loose and dance even harder, which is the ultimate goal in a workout!
