Keeping Health Fun: Tips for Enjoyable Activity

By Genevieve Cunningham

Sometimes worrying about our health can feel overwhelming. There is so much to worry about -- our weight, our body function, our stress levels, and more. Most people wouldn't describe taking care of their health as fun. It's a chore. It's something that has to be done. But the truth is that if we can find a way to make health fun, we're far more likely to maintain a healthy lifestyle and body. How do we get started? We start with our movement! If you would like to take the work out of health maintenance, take a look at these tips for making movement fun so that you can get your health moving in the right direction. 

Keep It Playful

Movement should be fun. If it's not fun, you're far less likely to do it. So how do we keep movement fun? We do things that we enjoy -- it's truly as simple as that! If you like sports, grab some buddies and play a friendly game together. If you like hiking, find a trail and get moving. There are so many ways to move our bodies. We don't have to dread exercise. Do something fun, enjoy yourselves throughout the process, and it will be so much easier to make movement a regular happening in your life. 

Join a Class

Sometimes we need help with movement. We need an instructor and people to push us and people to motivate us to show up and keep going. If you're one who needs a little help, consider joining a class. Most gyms offer multiple classes to meet a wide range of interests -- yoga, kickboxing, aerobics, water classes. Find a class that suits your interest, time, and personality, and go all in. You may find that joining a class is what works for you and helps you move toward better health and a body that makes you proud. 

Think Outside of the Box

It's always a good idea to think outside of the box, and the world of fitness isn't any different. Exercise doesn't have to look any particular way. It can look like walks in nature, afternoons at the gym, a yoga class at the park, or any other way that suits your life. Don't be afraid to be creative. The goal is movement and activity. If you're up and moving, you're taking a step in the right direction no matter what that movement looks like to other people. 

If you want to be healthy, you have to move your body. For some, this is really hard! The good news is that you can make it easier by keeping it fun! Use these tips to make your active life lots of fun so that you can live a healthy and happy life for years to come.
