Fun Ways to Keep Fit

April 16, 2017 By in Lifestyle Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , 60 Comments

Keeping fit is good for the body and soul, and it can be fun as well. Since having my babies, I am always on the lookout for fun and convenient ways to keep fit. Gone are the days when I could go spend hours at the gym. Time and money are so precious and life is so busy, so going to the gym is not even an option. I would never have the time to do that.

 

 

Being a work from home mother means I have had to think outside the box to keep my fitness life active, and so far, I am doing a great job I believe. I have also discovered ways I could keep fit without disrupting our routine, and keep it fun as well.

Some of the fun ways I keep fit are –

Walking

I love the school run because it gets me out of the house and helps me smash my daily target of 10,000 steps easily. Also, I love walking with the kids on their scooters. It keeps them happy and keeps me fit, so it’s a win-win for us all!

Running

I also enjoy running on some days when I can. Running with some cool music on makes me feel alive and well. I love the adrenaline rush I get from running. It makes me feel alive.

Workout Videos

I love workout videos. I find them very convenient and I think it is a fun way to work out and keep fit from home. I have a few videos I watch regularly on YouTube, and the workout routines are so good.

Running Around with the Kids

Running around with the kids in the garden is another fun way to keep fit. Chasing after a ball or just running round aimlessly helps me burn some calories, keeps me fit and keeps them happy and drained, which is good. You should try it.

So these are some of the fun ways I keep fit. Do you do any of these? Please sound off in the comments section below.

Thanks for reading and have a happy Easter.

Picking the Right Gym/Sportswear

Keeping fit should be a way of life for all of us. And the clothes we were exercising at home, at the gym or while walking/jogging, play a huge role in how successful our fitness journey will be. I like to go for quality when it comes to anything, and my sportswear are no exception. The beauty I have on above is by My Protein and it is my current sportswear kit. It feels and looks good, and it has made my fitness journey very successful so far.

When it comes to picking the right sportswear kit, here are the 5 features I look out for –

 

Stretch

I like my sportswear kit to be stretchy. Them being stretchy means I move more freely in them, which helps while exercising. When shopping for your next sportswear kit, look for pieces made from extra stretch material.

 

High Polyester Material

Go for pieces that made from high polyester material. This material is breathable, drawing sweat away from the body, keeping you comfortable and dry. This would enhance your fitness journey, trust me. The last you will be needing is a sportswear that makes you sweat.

 

Good Fit

Many of us think baggy clothes are the best for exercising but that is so far from the truth. The best fitness clothes are those that follow the shape of your body and give you a waist.

Go for Layers

Autumn is here so if you plan on going jogging, the best way to deal with changes in your body temperature is to have on layers so you can add or discard when needed.

 

Get a Sport Bra

I was one of those ladies that didn’t understand the importance of a sports bra until I started my fitness journey. A sports bra is a fitness essential. Bouncing, unsupported boobs are very uncomfortable and bad for your back. There are loads in stores now, and many are really affordable so there is no reason not to have 1 at least.
