12 Workouts That Are So Fun You Won't Even Feel Like You’re Exercising

In This Article:

This summer, I've had a harder time motivating myself to exercise than normal. With the gyms still closed, and my general lack of routine as a whole getting in the way of my productivity, I started having to be a little more creative with coming up with ways to get myself to exercise.

This was especially hard for me because I am NOT a cardio person. When I go to the gym, it's straight to weights after a warm-up lap and stretching. This is a problem because I don't have weights at home and my mom got sick of me trying use household items as replacements. So I was forced to try some cardio. I tried running like I did in high school, and that lasted maybe two days. It took a while for me to figure out what worked for me, which was playing "Just Dance" and cleaning, so hopefully, this helps you find what works for you a little faster.

Good luck, and have fun staying fit!

1. Dance

I'm not going to include a video for this one, but you get it!

Bring back your favorite childhood game. It's especially fun to play with friends or SO for some friendly competition.

Go for a walk

May not seem to fun at first but try exploring different areas and listening to your favorite playlist. This also helps with stress.

10. Play a musical instrument

This might sound wack, but playing the drums can be super tiring.

12. Kickboxing

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
