Although some fitness establishments have reopened already, it’s totally reasonable if you’re hesitant to head back to the gym. However, that’s not an excuse to abandon working out altogether. Regular exercise is essential not only to stay fit but for your overall health. Nowadays, health is really wealth, so you should really make time for it. 

If running on a treadmill or stationary bike isn’t really your vibe, the good news is that there are a lot of dynamic options for you to shake things up and have some fun. Whether you prefer to stay indoors or explore the outdoors (while social distancing, of course), you can get creative, and get a good workout in. 

Clueless on what to do? Here are seven fun ways to break a sweat without going to the gym:

1.Go outside and skate

2.Explore with your bike

If you live with your family, you can work out and bond at the same time by playing games together. Have a water balloon fight or play tag. Bring out the twister mat, and show off your flexibility. Use whatever resources you have at your disposal and get creative. 

7.Have your own dance party
