Who says staying fit and healthy is all work and no play? The truth is staying healthy and fit can be really fun and exciting. There is no need for thinking about strenuous workouts that are painful and boring. You can start imagining doing fun fitness activities that you will enjoy doing. Engage in physical activities for leisure and enjoyment and watch yourself getting all the health benefits. If you enjoy dancing a lot then you enjoy one of the most effective and fun physical activities. Formal dancing or dancing with a dance group or even just dancing around your house is a good type of physical activity. Dancing improves the flexibility of the dancer. They must strive to achieve full range of motion for almost all the major muscle groups. The greater the range of motion, the more muscles can flex and extend. Dancing also help build strength by forcing muscles to resist against the dancer’s own weight. It can also help in increasing the endurance of the dancer. Swimming is another fun physical activity that helps us stay fit. Obviously, swimming is a good type of exercise, when you swim, you move different parts of your body against the pressure of the water, which requires you muscle to move harder. Regular swimming builds endurance, muscle strength and cardio-vascular fitness. It can also be considered as a cross-training element to your regular work-outs. It also burn calories at a rate of about 3 calories a mile per pound of bodyweight. Meaning, if you weigh 150 lbs., and you need about 30 minutes to swim a mile, then you will be burning 900 calories in one hour. Different kinds of sports like football or basketball are also good ways to stay fit. Whether you chose one favorite sport or you decide to play all of them, you can gather up your friends and neighbors to get them involved in your quest for improved fitness. These are only some of the many fun physical and fitness activities you may want to consider in making your body fit and healthy. So you can quit saying that staying healthy is hard and boring, because apparently, there are lots of activities that can help you maintain a healthy lifestyle and at the same time, letting you enjoy and have fun.
