Getting off the couch to put your body through a series of workouts is one of the hardest things to do. If you’re getting bored of all your workouts, or simply trying to find a way to start, it’s time to change things up.

Everyone wants to be healthy, but there’s absolutely no fun in simply going to a gym and running on a treadmill or lifting weights. You can avoid going to the gym altogether and instead go for a run around the block as opposed to continuously running nowhere on a treadmill. Set a destination, go for a run and enjoy the scenery.

According to research from PubMed, exercising in natural environments is associated with greater feelings of revitalization and positive engagement, increased energy and decreases in tension, confusion, anger and depression.

You can also take a fitness class, grab a buddy to workout with or work out in a way that let’s you have fun. A great way to get all of these activities together is by signing you and a friend up for a Zumba class. You and your friend can have a lot of fun dancing for as long as the class goes, and by the end of it, it’ll feel like you didn’t even break a sweat.

Listening to music is very popular among people who exercise, which is always a good way to forget about the pain of working out. If you have a workout playlist, it can get boring to listening to the same songs over and over again. An alternative to that can be listening to genres you haven’t heard before.

Another thing you can do is start listening to podcasts. Listen to your favorite comedian or someone analyzing your favorite sports team.

At the end of the day, you have to find a workout that you enjoy that keeps you happy and motivated. Whether that’s heading to a gym and working out with no distractions, or doing all that you can to have a fun workout is all up to you.
