5 Plus Size Workout Activities that May Change Your Mind – Getting in Shape Can Be Fun
Do you sigh thinking that weight loss and plus size workout exercises are downright boring? Well most of us think this way. Just the thought of having to diet and change your daily habits is kind of scary and seems hard. It may seem totally impossible for you at this moment. I’m here to tell you as a NYC personal trainer I’ve seen many succeed in getting in-shape! It’s not impossible.
There are some things that you can incorporate into our life to make you see how “plus size workout” activities can be fun and easier than you think. I define “plus size workout activities” as activities that help plus size people get in-shape. It’s not the extreme workout and exercises that you see in the gym, in the aerobics studio, or even on popular TV workout reality shows.
A lot of those workouts that you see are not geared for the plus size body. You want to move as much as possible without jarring joints with possible injury. Everybody needs to move their bodies and be healthy and fit but all exercises are not a one-size-fits-all solution.
Let’s shift your attitude about plus size workout exercises right now. Here are some great activities that are just right for your plus size body. Who says a plus size body can’t be a fit body? Let’s recreate a new strategy for getting in-shape.
Here are 5 perfect strategies to get you started on the right track:
1. Play in a group. We all need support and feel like we’re part of a community so why not incorporate this desire and philosophy into our plus size workout design? Next time instead of going to the health club alone and getting on the treadmill, check out a class that is geared to your level. You’ll find others with the same goals and body challenges as you.
2. Schedule in walking after dinner or lunch with a walking buddy. Find a friend who is enthusiastic in being your walking buddy and schedule in walking after lunch or dinner. You’ll have such a wonderful time catching up on the chat session while getting in-shape together.
3. Dance is always fun. It’s easy moving the body when dancing and you’ll burn loads of calories. You’ll be able to get an amazing plus size workout without thinking that it’s exercise. Some ideas in getting your “dance on”; take a dance class, go out to a dance club, or pop in a dance video at home.
4. Make your garden beautiful. For those who have gardens and/or a yard you’ll be able to kill two birds with one stone. Beautify your garden, plant some wonderful flowers, vegetables, and fruits while burning some calories. While squatting to pull out those weeds and strengthening your core, glutes, and thighs, your whole experience in the garden will be about recreating a healthy lifestyle.
5. Have fun with the family. Involving the family in your fitness and health goal is always a positive experience. Keep it simple by opting for the outdoors hiking, biking, playing Frisbee, or even playing tag with the little ones. There are endless possibilities!
Now you see how plus size workout activities can be fun rather than a bore while getting in amazing shape. You don’t have to go to the gym. You don’t have to run on the treadmill 7 days a week. Make sure you change your workout routine to cut the boredom and keep you motivated. Consistency is the key to a healthy and fit lifestyle!
