We all know that work out and getting proper exercise is not always fun. Sometimes we are just exhausted and we don’t want to do it. Staring at that yoga mat or those weights, trying to burn them with our eyes… you all know what I mean!
But, exercise doesn’t have to be a drag. It can be fun and give you all the benefits that you need to start, continue, or end your day!
Ways to Make Working Out Fun
- Change it up: Don’t do the same routine over and over again. Anything on repeat will eventually get boring after a while. Try to through in a new type of exercise class that you haven’t tried, or just go for a run one night day!
- Do it with a friend: Workout buddies:) I think that working out with a partner does not get enough credit. Not
only will they motivate you and can even push you to be better, but they can also make working out fun with enjoyable conversation. They may just laugh at the way you look while working out… or vice versa! But, it’s all out of love! In my case, sometimes that friend is my baby girl. She definitely laughs at her mama! - Get outside: There is no better way, especially in the warmer months, to have fun while exercising then to take it outside! Go for a walk or run somewhere new and enjoy the scenery. Or get involved with something like a Color Run or a Dirty Dash. Check out some ways that I like to enjoy the outdoors with my family here.
- Don’t stress yourself out about it: Don’t count the calories so much or focus on how many pounds you are trying to lose in a week… especially if you are new to working out. Really try to enjoy the way that it makes you feel, and then you will enjoy the results even more!

Having someone to work out with is a definite must, otherwise we just find excuses for NOT!
YES! I am such a slacker about working out. And I just. love. food. See the problem with this?! LOL I have found I am WAY more motivated when I have some accountability in the form of a work-out buddy! Someone to give me a swift kick in the backside when I start slacking. Yup. That’s what I need….
Thanks so much for linking up at #BlogDiggity today! Hope to see you link up over on A Day in the Life of a Drama Queen’s Momma next week!
It really helps when you have some there helping to push you along! I know I need it sometimes FOR SURE!
Can’t wait to read more on your site:)
Thanks for stopping by!
This makes me want to get on my sneakers and hit the pavement because I have REALLY been slacking off lately! REALLY. But I know that all I have to do is “start” again. No need to feel guilty about it.
As for me, I make exercise fun by getting outside for scenery changes, dancing, and planning a reward system for myself. That piece of chocolate, etc, keeps me focused! Lol! And yes, I’d love to read a post from another blogger about exercising. I can always learn something new!
Thank you for sharing with BlogDiggity!
Do it! I dreaded it when I first started, and there are still some days when I just drag and don’t want to work out. But it is so worth and it makes you feel so much better! Haha, do it for the chocolate girl!
