Stop Being So Grown Up!

Lets go back for a second and take a look at some of our favorite grade school activities.  For instance, do you remember what your favorite part of school was?  Most of us probably answered recess, and rightly so.  It seems when we were kids getting exercise was simple almost effort less. Unintentionally or not we could easily rack  up two or three hours of physical activity a day.

While I’m sure we don’t miss every aspect of being a child, lets go for a minute, back to the ones we do.  Wouldn’t you love to be able to incorporate physical activity into memories, adventure, family time, and more.  I put it this way, because physical activity doesn’t and shouldn’t be something we dread.  There is no rule that our cardio has to be running on a treadmill or jogging on a track.  Take those memories of childhood games and  hobbies and put them towards a physical goal.  Spend time with your kids and family by playing sports or tag, take your dog for a jog/walk, go on a hike with friends, the possibilities are endless.  Your main goal should really be to  have fun, get your heart rate up, all while enjoying life at the same time.

When exercise isn’t fun your routine can easily become stagnant and boring.  You’ll more then likely start finding excuses to skipping workouts.  Learn how to BURN THAT FAT while having fun! Below are a few tips for keeping exercise fun:

• We are social by birth- Find physical activities you can do with friends or family
• Constantly challenge yourself,  don’t let your body get stagnant and bored. Set small goals  and challenge yourself to reach them
• Don’t limit yourself to the gym.  Get out and exercise doing things you love such as dancing, hiking, sports, swimming, or other activities

So what are you waiting for…Burn that fat while having fun….
