Summer is a liberating experience when you are free to exercise even on the beach and relive life. But your joyful fitness routine can become boring if you repeat the same moves over and over again.Your fitness plan is supposed to keep you fresh, active and lively.
For that, you need to redesign your fitness plan and things that you actually enjoy doing and don’t compromise on your workout routine.
If you are finding yourself in the same situation, here are five interesting ideas to look beyond the gym and weightlifting and yet remain in shape:
1. Add Swimming:
Most of us chose the basic and highly common exercises such as walk, run biking or playing a sport. Swimming is a sport that offers you an incredibly refreshing experience. Swimming not only burns calories when you are not in the mood to go to the gym, but it keeps you cool too.
2. PlayingTennis:
Although there may be many sports you have tried, nothing is comparable to tennis. It takes strength, stamina, and endurance and makes you every muscle move. If you are bored with playing the same old sport, try tennis. Another benefit is that it is fun to play and you don’t even feel that you were actually working out. So, take a chance this summer, and keep tennis on top of your summer workout plan.
3. Consider Walking your Dog:
Yes, we just talked about the walk being the traditional and somewhat boring work out; it is if you do it alone. Walking becomes an absolute fun when you do it with your favorite four-legged pet- dog. Taking your dog along for a walk is good for you as well as your dog’s health and social skills. Remember, dogs are a very intelligent and friendly creature.
4. Spare Some Time for HIIT Session:
Many people consider weight training to be the only way to shape up and she extra pounds. However, there is another thing called HIIT- high-intensity interval training- which energizes your entire workout plan. HIIT is the short, focused and swift movements with high energy that show excellent results in a short time. Like swimming, they are also fun!
If you are confused about what is added and how to go about it, consider the following plan thrice a week for twenty minutes:
• Warming up
• 3 seconds of 80% of Exertion
• 1 minute of light exertion
• Repeat 8 times
• Cool down and stretch
You HIIT can include different types of activities from bicycling, swimming, or an activity that needs exertion according to your capacity.
5. Rock Climbing:
Although it is not that ‘work out’ like swimming or HIIT session, however, it is still considered as one of the effective ways to burn your calories in summer. Rock climbing is an extreme sport which needs a high level of courage and energy. Those who are adventure lover and need to experience some thrill, probably mountain climbing is the best sport they should consider. Although, the risk of injuries or accidentsis high, however, there are safety measures to keep you safe.
For the purpose of refreshing your fitness regime, you can definitely try climbing low or even indoor climbing. After all the purpose is to do something unique in the routine which gives you joy.
