Alternative Exercises For Those Who Don’t Like Running

By Peter 8 Comments

If you’re going to be attempting a weight loss regimen and getting fit, you know you’re going to have to start doing some sort of cardiovascular workout. Most often people will use running as their workout of choice, however, it isn’t for everyone. Running can carry some risks along with it, and for some people it’s just not an option. For others like myself, running just isn’t fun!

I won’t go into the benefits and downfalls of running in this article. Instead today I thought I’d list  some alternatives to running that people can do to get in shape.  There’s no excuse for getting bored with your workout!

Alternatives To Running

  • Going for a brisk walk
  • Swimming at the local club
  • Doing a workout video
  • Playing basketball
  • Rowing machine
  • Hiking on local trails
  • Spin classes
  • Stationary bike
  • Roller Blading
  • Cross country skiing
  • Mountain bike riding
  • Elliptical machine
  • Treadmill
  • Jumping rope
  • Circuit training
  • Ultimate frisbee
  • Step Aerobics
  • Handball/Racquetball
  • Rock climbing
  • Kickboxing

Do you have your own exercises that you enjoy doing (that isn’t running?)? Tell us about it in the comments!
