Jump rope is a fantastic calorie burner that you can do even when the weather is bad. If normal jump rope is too easy, try doing double jumps- jump twice as high and swing the rope quickly so that it clears your feet twice before you land. This is a very time-and-space-effective exercise that promotes cardiovascular health.

Exercising with groups of people can inspire you to reach new heights. This is helpful because a social group can motivate a person to go above and beyond what their normal goals would be when alone. The dynamic of having other people rely upon you, or at least to share your success with will definitely be a positive benefit on your fitness.

A great way to get fit is to make a play list on your MP3 player or your Ipod. Make it something motivating and with a fast beat. Now, every time you go workout use this play list, sing along if possible. This will help motivate you and help you get the most out of your workouts.
