Summer is upon us! As the weather gets warmer, gym memberships are on the rise. Persons are gearing up for fabulous upcoming summer vacations, pool parties and get togethers. However, not everyone is a gym junkie as, there are certain downsides that often tend to discourage persons from going. Gyms are usually really packed, especially at peak hours after work when most persons are itching to get their evening workout in. Other gym turn-offs include: the expensive fees, limited availability of exercise machines and the hindering open and closing hours. All these factors put together make up common reasons why someone may stray away from going to the gym. Luckily there are many other ways to get just as good of a workout, that don’t include a sweaty, ram packed gym. Buzzz Magazine has narrowed down a few top alternative workout methods that will bring back the excitement to your fitness routine!
Yoga is a form of exercise that has become increasingly popular throughout the last two years. When persons were unable to head to the gym, taking in an online yoga class certainly did the trick. Yoga utilizes breathwork and holding specific positions for a long period of time to activate your muscles. Yoga practices range from low impact that focuses on slow stretching and muscle recuperation to more physically demanding and intense. With a balance of both, you can get a full body high intensity workout without even stepping foot into a gym.
Another fun and exhilarating form of workout is taking a pole dancing class! To make the experience even more worthwhile you could grab a bunch of friends and book a private session. You all will be so focused on getting the moves down and creating new memories that it won’t feel like a regular workout. The classes help to build your upper body, strengthen your leg muscles, and utilize your core.
