Without any doubts going to a gym is one of the most popular ways to work out for anyone who is trying to burn some fat and build up some muscles. However, is it really the best way to do so?
Personally, I dislike gyms. Sure it gets the job done, but I don’t find it very entertaining to lift weights and work on machines. So I started asking myself, what other ways are there to achieve the same goal?
Firstly, it would have to be something that doesn’t only burn calories and fat but also helps to build up some muscles. If did some research on the internet as well as checked whatever sports my buddies are into and starting trying out different stuff to see what may be best for me.
After two weeks of trying all kinds of stuff I started having a pretty good idea of what I was going to do in the long run. For the upper body area, I found climbing to be incredibly efficient. Yes that’s right, climbing up those artificial indoor and outdoor walls. From what I can tell you’ll be developing significant biceps/triceps muscles as well as a neat sixpack. I’m doing it twice a week and its really starting to pay off, plus it can be a lot of fun since its typically done with at least one other person who’s taking care of your rope.
As for my legs I’m not 100% certain yet but riding my bike as well as jogging regularly seems to work quite well. After a long day of work it also has a very relaxing impact on your mind running around in a park or other green area for a while.
Obviously, needs and preferences are different for everyone, but unless you’re one of those people who feels comfortable in a gym I’m sure there’s something for you out there which can yield the same result in a more fun way!
