I don’t know about you, but for me, getting regular exercise has been one of the challenging parts about this pandemic. Pre-COVID, I had a regular routine of attending a Nia dance class three times per week. On the other days, I would walk or do a pilates video or hula hoop in my yard.

Without my regular class routine, I’ve had trouble having any consistency. I’ll get all motivated on Monday and by Tuesday, I’m back watching Netflix during my regular exercise time. Sound familiar?

The things I’m most consistent doing regularly these days are the ones that feel more like having fun. I thought you might need more fun with exercise, too, so I created this list for you:

“Fun” Exercise Ideas:

Dance to your favorite tunes

Play Wii games

Hike in nature

Rough house with your kids

Play on a playground

Play a game you played as a kid (hide-and-seek, kick-the-can)

Do sit ups or push ups on commercials during your favorite show

Climb a tree

Play frisbee

Hula Hoop

Carry your kids around on your back

Geocaching

Jump rope

Hopscotch

Slacklining

Jump on trampoline or rebounder

Jumping Jacks

Biking

Skiing or Snowboarding

Kayaking

Have sex

Yoga

Another thing I’ve been doing is meeting friends for masked walks outside. Wet get to hangout safely, while walking and talking.

I hope this helps to bring a little inspiration to your body movement ideas.

Remember, it doesn’t have to be perfect, just do something, and HAVE FUN!
