Great Ways To Stay Active

Are you having trouble staying active because of no motivation? You may need to be given a reason to stay active. Like for instance, joining a softball team. It is a lot of fun, it's not the most intense sport but it will get you out of the house because it gives you a reason. The team depends on their players, the other team mates will motivate you. It gives you a reason to get outdoors and do something fun.

If you get on a winning streak, then it's even more of a blast! You will work hard to get and keep that streak. It will be a reward for you and your teammates.

If softball is not your bag, their are plenty more ways to stay active. Maybe you like baseball, it is a little different then softball. Football is another one, I would say this one is more active then those to.

It does not have to be a sport, but they are great ways for motivation. Lets take for example gardening. It is not the most active thing you can do, but hey it will get you out of the house and getting some exercise. Plus you get excellent healthy vegetables which are good for your diet. It is like you kill two birds with one stone.

Rollerblading can be fun too! Going places on your Rollerblade s like the park or your friends house. Maybe you like going around the city.

Walking can be a great way also. Instead of taking the car to places, take a walk to them. Walking burns calories too! Taking a walk can be enjoyable because you can look at the things around you and realize the beauty of everything. It even is a great ways to get landscaping ideas for your house.

In my other blog I'm Trying This Jogging Workout I talk about a great jogging program that you can start if you are not into jogging yet. Jogging is a great way to get active. It burns a lot of calories. The workout gives you an eight week plan to get into jogging. Remember, don't make my first mistakes by trying to jog 6 miles the first day. You want to start out slow so your body gets use to it and you can enjoy it!

This is a few of many things that can keep you motivated to get active to achieve a healthy lifestyle!
