Fitness Can Be Fun
When it comes to fitness, many people automatically think of the hard work, the pain, the agony that is often associated to working out. But, with everything in life you truly don't enjoy what you're doing chances are you will not give it your all. In order to truly be successful in your efforts lose weight, to drop fat, and to look the best that you can, you must have fun.
Now many of you might be thinking that there is no way to lose fat and actually have fun. This could not be further away from the truth. You can definitely achieve amazing results with your fitness program by throwing in a few games that will make your program enjoyable and fun.
One way to incorporate fun with working out is using a deck of cards. All you need is a deck of cards and just a little space. Now first off we are going eliminate the king, the queen, the jack and the ace of spades. That leaves us with 2 through 10 for our card games. The fun part about this game is that you can practically do it anywhere with very little space and it takes very little time.
Each card represent the amount of reps you will do for each exercise. For the purpose of this game here are the exercises you will be performing and the suits they are associated with:
Jumping Jacks = Diamonds
Pushups = Clubs
Lunges = Hearts
Crunches = Spades
The key when performing this workout is that you will not have any rest between exercises and you will perform it for 15-20 minutes. This is a great workout to do in the comfort of your own home and a quick way to get yourself moving to burn more calories.
Give this game a try and let me know what you think about it. You can even play it with your friends and see who can keep going the longest. With thanksgiving coming this is a great game to play the day after thanksgiving to help burn off some of those calories we stuffed ourselves with the big feast.
