How to Get Fit ( 9 Steps ) part 4

 

Switch things up. Any physical activity that takes a bit of effort will help you get fit, but it's important to remember that variety is the spice of life—and of physical fitness! More importantly, as your body gets comfortable performing a certain activity, it learns to do it more efficiently, making it easy for you to plateau in your workouts. Keep both your body and your mind guessing by enjoying a diversity of activities and having fun:

• Dance for exercise. Anything from ballet dance to break dancing or even jump style will increase your fitness if you stick with it.
• Jump in the pool. It doesn't matter if you're treading water, dog paddling, or mastering the butterfly stroke. Swimming is a good form of exercise that can be fun, too.
• Walk the dog. Your dog, the neighbor's dog, your girlfriend's sister's cousin's dog...it doesn't matter. If you don't have a dog, go to a dog park and play with someone else's dog. You meet good people, you get exercise, you socialize, and you can snuggle a puppy while you’re at it!
