It is easy to get bored when you try to follow the same workout routine all the time. It is important to change up your workout routine frequently with exercise you find truly fun.

Here are five of the top exercises to keep the boredom blues away.

Belly Dancing

Belly dancing is a type of dance that focuses on isolating and using your stomach muscles to move your body. On top of the great cardio workout that you get from dancing, belly dancing works stomach muscles that may not get used often.

Here are some Belly Dancing DVDs to try:

Luscious – The Bellydance Workout for Beginners

Spinning Classes

When you poke your head into a spinning class, you will see rows and rows of stationary bikes. You may begin to think that this will just be your usual bike ride. Think again. A spinning class is like a bike ride turned on its head. A spinning class will leave you exhausted and wanting more.

Ice Skating

This exercise may seem more like something that you see children do. It is the same exercise. Gliding on the ice on a pair of skates is an exercise in control as well as a great calorie burn. It takes many muscles to keep you upright on the thin blade of a pair of ice skates. So lace up and get going.

Boxing

Have you ever watched a boxing match and wondered how those guys stay in such great shape? Boxing is a great workout for your upper body and your legs. The movements of your legs as you lean to punch the bag will get you toned in no time. You can begin by using a punching bag to help you get into shape. As you learn more about boxing, you can even move on to sparring with partners.

Or try a little kickboxing. I’m a Tae Bo addict!

Swimming

There is a reason why swimmers have such toned bodies. Swimming is a sport that works every muscle group as you go through your paces. This exercise is one that can be done by people at any level of fitness. Jump in the water and swim your way to a healthy body.
