Want to stay in shape without working out at the gym? Many people don't like working out in crowded, overcrowded, expensive gyms. This article explains how to stay physically fit without having to pay dues!
Step
Step 1. Turn off the TV or computer and then exercise outdoors
Sometimes, you just need to get out of the house to exercise.
Step 2. Get in the habit of walking or cycling to work or college, instead of using private vehicles or public transportation
Remember that walking is also a means of transportation while exercising.
Step 3. Practice regularly
You'll be more diligent in your workouts if you do it regularly, no matter what your favorite sport is. For fans of running, set a training schedule and then start running short distances 1-2 times a week. After a few weeks, you can run further and more often. This method keeps you in shape because you are the one who manages the intensity of your workout and monitors your progress.
Step 4. Enjoy the beauty of nature while exercising
Take a friend for a hike or a walk in the park. Look for a practice site that provides a walking track. Maybe you will be so mesmerized by the beauty of nature that you forget that you are exercising.
Step 5. Purchase or rent a practice guide DVD
Choose the workout guide videos that you like the most, for example dance videos, pilates, yoga, taici, aerobics, etc.
Step 6. Prepare sports equipment that can be used in the long term
Purchase a yoga mat, dumbbells, a jump rope, and a ball to practice balance that aren't too expensive. You will get more benefits if you exercise with the help of versatile equipment. If you train using videos, buy the equipment you need so you have an economical gym at home. In addition, prepare an elastic band that can withstand a load of up to 110 kg to train the physical as a whole. Besides being able to save money, these tools are very useful and versatile so you can practice well.
Step 7. Find a low-cost or free gym
Many campuses and community centers provide these facilities. When practicing in a very fun class (ballroom dancing or swing), many people forget that they are exercising because they are too busy with themselves! Plus, you can make new friends as you practice. Social interaction is a very good motivator.
Step 8. Register for a marathon or start practicing century sport
These activities are usually held with a useful purpose. Take advantage of this fun social activity to be altruistic while keeping fit. Realizing that many people are doing the same thing is a precious moment to feel solidarity and friendship.
Step 9. Enjoy the joy of dancing
Sometimes you just need to play a song and then dance alone in your room or come to the club to socialize. Don't dance while drinking alcohol because you can't keep yourself fit if you do this.
Step 10. Do various activities
Practice by doing some movements when exercising during high school (sit ups, crunches, push ups). Invite friends and neighbors to play basketball or badminton on the court. Tidy up your house, go shopping at the supermarket, visit friends, or enjoy art in galleries and museums. Take the kids for fun on the weekends. Any light activity is still beneficial, such as doing light stretching, moving heavy objects, and opening doors for others. Fill your free time with short exercises. If you're bored, go for a leisurely walk. Do push ups a few times while waiting for someone to arrive for another 5 minutes. Be a creative person!
