No need for the gym to get a GREAT WORKOUT

Like myself and many other people, finding the motivation and time to go to the gym for the daily workout isn't an easy task. I myself find the gym to be very boring, not worth my time or effort. Many people go to the gym to scalp their perfect bodies and to build self esteem, but there are definitely other ways that could boost this goal. The lack of time, motivation and sincere enjoyment diminish the wanting to go to the ordinary gym. Though the avid gym lovers may think differently on this scenario, I sincerely think that you can actually get a great workout by doing something that you truly enjoy doing.

I, myself truly enjoy playing volleyball and am quite good at it too. While playing 4 hours of volleyball tonight, I found that I am not only working every muscle in my body, but having an immense amount of fun doing it. Volleyball to me is a very intense and competitive sport in which the player needs to exercise every muscle in their body to achieve greatness in the sport. The compassion, drive and absolute enjoyment of this sport is key in excelling greatly in any match. Volleyball is something that I truly enjoy doing, so why not make it the absolute workout, substituting the countless hours in a gym in which I greatly dislike.

There are definitely other great workout options out there that would allow you to get in shape and build the perfect body in which you desire. Tonight, while having a drink with a friend, she told me about her experience with Bikram Yoga, in which she truly enjoys. Bikram Yoga is an intense workout in which yoga is performed in a very hot atmosphere with temperatures reaching over a 100 degrees. She says that she prefers participating in this and burning more calories in an hour than she would at the traditional gym. Plus, it's definitely a a relaxing and enjoyable alternative.

I am definitely a person that hates going to the gym and running on a treadmill, but I found the alternative in getting an awesome workout and having a lot of fun at the same time, and that is playing a few games of volleyball every other day.

APPLY IT:

If you completely hate the thought of going to the gym to get the workout that you want in order to achieve your desired exercise, find an alternative. Find a physical activity that you truly enjoy participating in that would allow you to work all the muscles in your body. Anything that keeps you active such as sports, yoga, or even the simple hike will definitely allow you to keep in shape and avoid attending the boring gym settings. FIND SOMETHING PHYSICAL THAT YOU ENJOY DOING AND DO IT!
