Yo I love the treadmill as much as the next person, but sometimes you’ve just got to switch it up. Whether you’re trying to maintain weight, lose weight, get fit, hit goals, or what have you, it’s important to change up your exercise regime. Not only is it fun and good for your mental health, but studies show that the more you do a set exercise, the more used to it your body gets and thus it inhibits and slows your fitness goals. Here are 13 things you can try if you’re looking to be ~fun, fit, and flirty~ this upcoming winter season.
1. Soul Cycle/Spin Class
Don’t let the price tag or the fact that it’s extremely popular deter you from this empowering and fat burning workout.
2. Pole Dancing Class
Your arms will be sore and you can say you have a fun party trick(?)
3. Aerial Yoga
Because who doesn’t want to hang from the ceiling?
4. Kick Boxing
Not only is it a workout but it’s also self-defense. Two birds, one stone.
5. Fencing
If your quads aren’t burning by the end, you’re doing it all kinds of wrong.
6. Zumba
Working out or having a dance party? You decide.
7. Muay Thai
Again, self-defense and a workout in one.
8. Hot Yoga
Yoga is amazing for not only your physical health but also your mental health.
9. Late-night Running
I’m not a runner by any means but this is actually very nice.
10. CrossFit
Not for the faint of heart by ANY means.
11. Pilates
This is soooooo good for flexibility and strength without the grunt of actual weights.
12. Barre
After taking this you’ll have a deep appreciation for ballerinas.
13. Any dance class.
Dance is just fun, okay?
