How are your New Year’s
Resolutions going?
Keeping a workout fun,
fresh, and new are sure ways to be sure that your New Year's resolution is kept
throughout 2009. If going to the gym and running on the treadmill or using the
elliptical seem like an activity that you can not handle one more time, try
these new and fun activities in the New Year.
Group exercises:
Sometimes the motivation to workout is lacking when it comes to flying solo.
Participating in a group activity will surely be a fun change of pace when it
comes to getting fit. Some creative activities for the New Year include dance
based routines such as Zumba, and military regimented boot-camp styled courses.
1.
Yoga:
Yoga is a great way to relax and stretch. Even
though this is a group based class, there is no competition between participants.
Yoga is strictly about you. However, participating in group classes is a great
way to share a positive experience with others.
2. Group Sports:
It doesn't matter if you were the starting
quarterback in high school or the water boy, participating in a group activity
such as tennis, basketball or racquetball is a great way to work up a sweat as
well as make some new friends. Team sports are a great way to make use of the
competitive spirit as well as get fit. Just remember bowling with the guys on
Wednesday nights while drinking beer and smoking cigars does not count as
working out and will not help you to lose weight.
3. Get Back to Nature:
Getting fresh air
outside is another great way to get in all the fitness and exercise that one
needs. With so much time spent indoors these days, taking a long hike through
the woods or along the beach will provide a great opportunity to get fit as
well as get back to nature. Be sure to pack some healthy snacks while out on a
hike. Some great choices include whey protein bars as well as energy drinks.
4. Hi-Tech Fitness:
From the way we listen
to tunes to the specialty socks on our feet. Technology and fitness have merged
together to bring getting fit into the 21st century. From MP3 players that we
wear in our shoes to the moisture wicking properties of clothing, technology
has given us the opportunity to take our workout to a whole new level. This is
proven with Wii Fit and other interactive video games.
