How can I make walking fun?
Asked by shawtyb18 on Nov 08, 2009 in Fitness



I listen to music while I walk, but it's still a drag. I just get really bored. What can I do to make it more interesting?


Answer

You have to find a way to make exercise fun or else you won't do it.  If you walk indoors on a treadmill, I recommend moving outdoors into the fresh air.  Some ways that people make walking fun are by:

  • walking (and talking) with a good buddy
  • using gadgets like pedometers and heart rate monitors
  • challenging themselves with a goal, such as training to walk for a cause like breast cancer or leukemia
  • following a walking fitness program that has actual assignments
  • having a destination so you're not walking to nowhere
  • walking in beautiful surroundings that change with the weather and seasons
  • joining (or starting) a walking club
  • playing games, such as a scavenger hunt

If none of these ideas sounds good, then switch to a different exercise because walking is not for you.
