Working out in the summer tends to be inconvenient and sometimes stressful. Few people want to go to the gym every day, and sacrifice time spent outside or with friends. The solution to this dilemma is participating in activities that are fun and are naturally good exercise. So instead of hitting the tread mill and weights, look to some of these ideas for some good fun and a killer workout too.

1. Walk whenever you can

To work, to a friend’s, to the beach. Walk everywhere.

2. Ride bikes for fun

There’s nothing better than riding a bike when the sun is setting and the breeze is in your hair.

3. Look up ab exercises on YouTube and do them while watching your favorite TV show

Netflix is great and all, but while you’re keeping up with the Kardashians, make sure to keep up with your abs as well.

4. Go on hikes

This is such a fun and inexpensive group activity. Plus, you get a tan at the same time- double win.

5. Shop locally at farmer’s markets

This is one of my favorite parts of summer! Buy all the fruits and veggies you can, and make a pledge to eat them all throughout the following week.

6. Swim in the ocean, pool or lake.

There’s nothing more refreshing on a hot day than a nice swim in a cool body of water. Get out there and swim those laps.

7. Kayak with friends

This is a killer upper body workout, and even if you don’t own a kayak, rental prices are pretty inexpensive.

8. Dance

In the car, at a party, under the moonlight. Whenever you can, bust a move; it burns more calories than you’d think.

9. Paddleboard Yoga

Head out to any body of water, and paddle out and then start your practice. Enjoy the rhythm of the waves and warmth of the sun.

10. Golf

If you have the opportunity to hit the golf course, definitely do. Even if you’re not a pro, taking a couple swings won’t hurt, but it will definitely help those arm muscles.
