Bored fitness buffs add sports to workout regimens

I'd agree with that. Going to the gym can bore me to tears. So much so, that eventually, I stopped going. Well, that wasn't helping anyone so I decided to mix up my week with three days of work-out (running and yoga) and two days of fun (tennis, hiking or golf). It's interesting, because although I'm sweating just as much on the days where I'm hiking or playing tennis (let's be honest, golf really doesn't work up a sweat) I don't think of the fun days as working out at all. I think that part of the reason we start to gain weight as we're older is that we forget to have fun. When we are young, we go out dancing, walk all over the place, etc. etc. But when you're older, it's easier to let life take over and stop doing the things you enjoy in favor of Working Hard. Unfortunately, that isn't always effective. I'm glad that forbes proved that having fun can be! Thanks for the info!
