Getting fit can seem like a chore. Exercise seems repetitive, diets are not fun, and the gym is a sweaty hell of embarrassment and spandex. But being healthy is still important, so what can you do? The answer is simple: make it enjoyable. Here are the six most fun ways there are to get fit.

#6 – Get a Dog

Would you be happy to sit on your couch watching Netflix for days on end? Is your idea of getting fresh air opening the window in your car? Getting a dog will change all that. Provided you are properly set up to look after a cute canine, dogs are a great way to get more exercise while still having a lot of fun. Most dogs need to be walked at least twice a day, and they don’t really mind where. Also, nothing will get you out of the house faster than adorable puppy eyes staring at you! If you’re looking for some fun and companionship as well as a guarantee of getting out and about, visit your local shelter and bring home a new best friend.
