Not Be Bored With Exercise

Want to exercise but not feeling it? Here's how you can exercise and have fun at the same time. Get ready because here we go!

Edit Steps

  1. 1
    Put on some comfy clothing. Sweatpants or athletic shorts and a t-shirt are the standard, but anything you feel comfortable in works.
  2. 2
    Invite some friends if you choose. This step is completely optional—not everyone likes to have friends watch them work out. However, other people can motivate you to push yourself further, and can come in handy if you like partner stretches/exercises.
  3. 3
    Play some music. Music can strongly influence the intensity of your workout—play classical if you want to take it chill. Rap, rock, and heavy metal, on the other hand, can help bring the tempo of your workout.
  4. 4
    Stretch before working out. This is very very important—if you don't stretch you risk injuring yourself. Do some windmills, touch your toes, reach to the sky and other stretches.
  5. 5
    Make a game of your warm ups. Dance to your music, do jumping jacks, run in place, grapevine, etc.
  6. 6
    Get started. Have fun!

Edit Tips

  • Don't stop moving. If you start out with a cramp you'll have it for a while but you have to work it out! Don't stop moving!
  • Try keeping to the beat of the music if you've been at it for a while and starting to get bored.
  • Keep a healthy snack and a glass of water at your side at all times.

Edit Warnings

  • Don't use weights or other dangerous objects such as treadmills if you're under 8

Edit Things You'll Need

  • If you're really into it bring a pair of weights and use any equipment that your parents say you can. Or if you are above 12 make the call yourself.
