Transforming your body into the best shape possible doesn’t have to be boring. Sure, you can spend countless hours lifting weights, walking on the treadmill, or counting every calorie that you put in your mouth and get really good results. But if you are looking for a way to give you plenty of motivation to roll out of bed bright and early to knock out the day’s workout, then look no further than these fun classes, workouts, or exercises. You will surely want to lace up your gym shoes if you know that you’ll have fun at the same time.

Zumba

What could be more fun than shaking your money maker for an hour with some fun, interesting people? That is what Zumba offers that many other workouts are lacking. This dance work out uses the most popular music of the day combined with simple choreography to melt fat and burn calories all while feeling like you are at a big dance party. Many people are intimidated by the thought of dancing in front of other people, but once you try Zumba and realize that everyone else is dancing just like you, you will forget to be embarrassed and have a great time.

CrossFit

CrossFit has seen a huge increase in popularity over the last few years. Aside from the fact that many people are seeing great results and realizing that they have more strength than they even knew, there is a community aspect of Santa Barbara cross fit that many participants enjoy. This weight-lifting, cardio-blasting combination fitness program is performed in a gym that is called “the box.” For many who do CrossFit, their box can become a second home. Everyone encourages each other to reach their fullest potential and move above and beyond the limits that they put on themselves.

Hula Hooping

Once a common playground toy, the hula hoop is making a comeback at gyms everywhere. With classes specific to hula hooping, many people are jumping on board the trend and having a lot of fun doing it. The hula hoops used for working out are often weighted, making them a great tool to help improve balance and strengthen the abdominal muscles, back, and legs at the same time. Don’t be fooled, though. Hula hooping isn’t all fun and games. Performing this workout can burn upwards of 400 calories in only one hour.

Stand Up Paddle Boarding

Perhaps you have seen photos of celebrities standing on what look like surfboards, paddling around in exotic locations. Stand up paddle boarding has moved from the resorts of the Caribbean to the main land and plenty of people are jumping at the chance to try it out. Because of the paddling motion that you have to perform in order to move your board around, you will feel the burn in your arms, shoulders, and obliques. Plus, you’ll get to practice a lot of balance trying to stay out of the water.

Hiking

Strapping on your hiking boots and climbing up the mountain not only gets you out of the gym, but it gives you the chance to appreciate nature at the same time. Try adding a hiking pack full of snacks and water and you will get a strength training workout as well without having to lift a single dumbbell.

I have decided to wash my winter jacket the other day because it was been a long time since I washed it and  it is quite dirty already since I took it with me when we travel outside Korea.

When my husband and I will have a short walk he left me at home and told me to follow because I am busy tinkering something in front of my laptop so when I am done with it I immediately run to our closet to look for my jacket, yeah right I forgot that I just washed it that day. Thinking my husband will be angry if I didn’t follow him I just wore my normal sweater and long pants and run so I can tag along with him beyond the cold weather. As I know it is impossible to catch him I took a short cut and I am able to see him after a long run, the coldness I felt was gone.

My husband laugh at me when he saw me as I am panting very hard, and even tell me why I follow when I have no winter jacket to wear. Well if I just knew he won’t be angry probably I will stay at home. And I think winter jacket is not need anymore as I didn’t feel cold after running like crazy.
