Working out is tough and sometimes it's hard to find the motivation especially if it's for something you hate, like the treadmill. Here are 12 alternatives if you absolutely want to avoid it.
1. Elliptical
It's so much easier than the treadmill and it barely feels like you're running.
2. Bike machine
Or regular biking works too. If you use the bike machine you can play on your phone at the same time and forget you're even working out and that's always cool.
3. Lunges
Grab a weight or do without one and lunge away.
4. Squats
Although squats are also exhausting, it's a little better if you absolutely hate the treadmill.
5. Burpees
Grab all motivation and energy you have for these.
6. Swimming
It's a workout that doesn't always feel like a workout.
7. Find some HIIT workouts
Instagram is a good source for workout videos.
8. Rock Climbing
Research local indoor or outdoor rock walls for a fun workout.
9. Sit-ups
Use weights for a more advanced workout with your sit-ups.
10. Push-ups
Keep a chart of your progress and push yourself to do more each rep
11. Stair climber
Great for the glutes.
12. Jump Rope
Taking it back to the elementary days, but you can actually burn major calories. Great for the glutes.
There are numerous other workouts depending on what you are working for. Try social media outlets, but don't get consumed in the photoshopped gym goers who post fake pics. Do what's healthy for you and your body.
