If not, well you can still try to get them into it. Or, find people in your local area who are like minded. Join a running club, or cycling club. This is a great way to find friends who enjoy the same kind of thing.
Engage in Team Sports
Team sports are another way to increase your fitness output. If you love fitness, then you’ll likely love everything that goes with fitness. Team sports is a great way to keep fit, whether you play football, rugby or something a bit exotic like lacrosse. They all involve running around in an interval training fashion. You can try offshoots of these too if you wanted, like five aside football instead of the traditional side. It is a great way of finding other people who are interested in keeping fit via games. If you enjoy it, it won’t even feel like exercise.
Perhaps you and a friend can join a team together, or in the case of five aside you can pull other friends in and make your own team. It is easily done. This is a great way of getting your friends into fitness if they don’t like the traditional means like running or the gym. They’ll enjoy themselves, you’ll get to add another aspect of fitness to your life while still seeing your friends in a social capacity. They don’t necessarily need to be team sports either. You could think about games like tennis or badminton, where you play a friend or indeed friends if you tried doubles. You’ll still get a fitness kick but won’t need the same amount of people. If you really enjoy yourself you could consider joining a club where you play other people who can help you increase your game exponentially.
If you couple some of these you will soon see your fitness regime start to take shape with multiple outings a week all contributing to your overall fitness and indeed in some cases the fitness of your friends and family.
