]]> While getting fit does require a serious commitment, this doesn’t mean that you can’t have fun while doing it. Here are some activities that will help you improve your fitness, all while making friends and having fun.

Play Tennis

While tennis takes a lot of stamina, flexibility, and endurance, it is also an inherently social game. After all, you always require a partner or two to play. Consider grabbing a friend and heading to a local tennis court to play. All you’ll need to get started is a tennis racket, balls, and some comfortable shoes.

Join a Running or Walking Club

Doing cardio on your own can be tedious especially, because movements such as running, cycling, and swimming can feel so monotonous. By joining a running or walking group, you can get in the steps you need while enjoying some fresh air and good conversation.

Join a Dance Class

If you love music or dancing at parties, then why not make it part of your exercise routine? Dancing is an excellent way to keep fit while joining a dance class enables you to meet a whole group of new friends. From hip-hop to waltz, tango, and cha-cha, there are plenty of dance styles to suit all tastes.

]]> Sometimes, the hardest thing about taking care of ourselves is that it can feel like something we “have” to do. That makes it seem like work or a chore, which in turn makes getting motivated to do it harder. But it doesn’t need to be a chore—all you need are some little hacks to rewire your brain into enjoying exercise. Here are some tips.

Do Something You Enjoy

If going to the gym and running around the track isn’t your thing, that’s totally fine. What’s important is to be moving regularly and getting your heart rate up—you don’t need to do a hardcore traditional workout to exercise. If you like dancing, try putting on an upbeat playlist and dancing and jumping around your room for 15 minutes every day. If you like exploring, try going on a long walk around your town or in nature a few times a week. Use your hobbies as a reason to exercise!

Turn it Into a Break

Exercise is also a great way to blow off steam. Getting your heart rate up every so often during your workday can help concentration. If you’ve had a bad day at work, or you can feel yourself losing steam, try doing sets of jumping jacks at your desk or going for a power walk after work to help relieve some stress from day-to-day life.

]]> Obstacle races require cardiovascular endurance and strength. They combine running with rope climbing, slithering under barbwire and cargo nets, leaping over fire, carrying sandbags and crawling through freshly dug tunnels.

Here are some tips to prepare for this fun activity.

Practice at the Park

Stimulate obstacles in the park by jumping over picnic tables and fences. Use a park bench to alternate between dips and push-ups. This is excellent because you won’t need a gym membership to get prepared.

Warm-Up

Warming up before training is essential since your entire body will be put to work.  Some good exercises to warm up your core include walking lunges, side planks, and lateral lunges. They help prevent injury and boost performance.

Run Intervals

Slow distance runs for a long period can be effective for training. They build speed and are crucial for obstacle race training. After warming up, alternate between resting and working.

Run Hills

Hills are different from steady paved roads and can help build your endurance. You can use the local park as a training ground. Sprint up the hill and walk down.

Run Offroad

Most obstacle races take place offroad, so it wouldn’t make sense to practice on asphalt or concrete. Challenge yourself to run on sidewalks and other unpaved areas.

]]> Windows down, head sticking out of the car with friends laughing in the back… This moment is one of the best feelings in the world. You’re driving down a long road with no destination, looking outside at the scenery and breathing the crisp air. They say that the most important point is the destination rather than the journey. But when you get to your journey and unpack your belongings, here are a few important things to bring.

Main Essential: Tent

Bring a compact and lightweight tent that will fit yourself and a few friends. There’s always a chance of rain so make sure you pick a high quality, preferably waterproof tent.

Bring The Munchies

No trip is complete without food! A great camping snack is chips and dip. Easy to prepare and it’ll last you for a night. If you’re feeling like Gordon Ramsay, whip up some samosas before the trip.

And Then There Was Light

You may be thinking, well I can use my phone… But what if the battery dies out? It’s best to be prepared for any situation. So pack a few flashlights for when night falls.

Wipes For All Uses

Wipes are important if you fall or get injured and need to quickly disinfect the area. They’re also handy for any messes or spills in your tents or general area.
