Now, there is no denying that the gym is the best way to see results in terms of toning up and losing weight. At the same time, this can be one of the least enjoyable ways to exercise as well. That’s why so many people tend to give up after a couple of visits to the gym. Well, the good news is that you get fit and in shape by exercising the fun way in Singapore! To help with this, you will be able to find some excellent tips right here.
Exercising The Fun Way – Get Outside
That’s right, it is often as simple as just spending more time outside. As children, this seemed easy enough to do but now as adults, with smartphones, this has gotten a little more difficult. Well, when you live somewhere that is as beautiful and versatile as Singapore, there really is no excuse not to head outdoors. If you don’t want to head out of the city, go on your very own walking tour to see some historic monuments. If you want a breath of fresh air, try The Southern Ridges, Botanic Gardens or the TreeTop Walk. The basic idea behind this is to get you to step outside and to keep moving.
Exercising The Fun Way – Do What You Love
Speaking of moving, what is your favourite way to stay active? Sure, you may love to binge-watch TV shows at home, on the couch but surely there is some form of physical activity that you don’t mind doing? For many people, this is dancing, and you will be happy to know that it is actually a great workout. In an hour, depending on the type of dance, you can burn anywhere from 200 to 400 calories! In Singapore, there are actually plenty of dance classes to choose from. Some are more typical of belly dancing, ballet, hip hop, K-pop, and salsa dancing. At the same time, you can find some truly zany classes such as aerial and jazz dancing. As you can see, regardless of your tastes, there is something available for you.
Exercising The Fun Way – Try a Grownup Version of a Scavenger Hunt
Remember what fun scavenger and treasure hunts were as children? Well, you don’t have to say goodbye to this adrenaline rush just yet, all thanks to geocaching. Now, it’s true that the initial rush of excitement about geocaching in Singapore has died down a little. Still, it is a fun and interactive way to explore the city. It is simply a matter of downloading the geocaching app and then following the GPS coordinates to wherever they may lead you. There are around 300 spots around Singapore alone, so you are not about to run out of locations anytime soon.
Exercising The Fun Way – Window Shopping
OK, let’s face it, as much as you love shopping, it’s not exactly the cheapest option out there. Window shopping, on the other hand, is a lot easier on the wallet and also lets you enjoy yourself. Now, the question that you may be asking is – can shopping be considered as exercise? If you do it right, absolutely. The main thing here is to traipse through shopping centres at the fastest speed that you can manage. Not only will you get to the stores that much faster, you will also be getting your heart rate up – instant cardio.
So, there you have it, all of the ways you can get fit without feeling bored along the way.
