Fun Fitness Thursday

     Thursdays are great. Almost at the weekend but not so close where your dilly-dallying on the computer all day playing text twist, leading to an unproductive send off. Nope, Thursdays are a day where you can just close your eyes momentarily and feel the warmth of freedom from work, wrapped in the silk blanket of your plans for relaxation and fun. Ahh. Are you there yet? Ok great. Just hang out there while you kick back and read some ways to introduce some childish fun into your workout routine!

By-the-way, have you read this article on adding variety to your routine? Crabby McSlacker will have you rolling around on the floor, belly laughing your way to sore abs in no time!

1. Hula Hoops!
   Yes, you read that correctly! Hula-hooping can be a great way to get your pelvis a rockin', raise your pulse and open the floodgate for endorphins (ok, there are other activities that can also lend to these things, but lets think vertical here people!)
   
   
2. Start a kickball team!
   Get some buddies together and form a team, or just contact the organization to join an existing team! Its a great way to make some friends and kick it old school...literally!
   
   
3. Right hand, Green
   Do those words prompt a flood of family fun time memories from your childhood? Twister can be great at any social gathering, I mean who doesn't love an elbow or buttocks in their face at the risk of falling on top of someone you barely know! Dust it off and get to twisting my friends!
   
   
4. Nintendo Wii
   Tennis on the Wii? Or better yet, hop yourself on the Wii Fit and get to surfing! Now that's fun, just don't be lazy and do it all sitting down...believe me, its possible.
   
   
5. Air Guitar
   Movement, music, make-believe. What more do you need? In the privacy of your own home (recommended for beginners) or in national competitions, air guitar can up your heart rate and set your sights soaring for a sold out crowd!
   

What are you waiting for? GO HAVE SOME FUN!
