If you constantly feel like you could be doing something better, something more fun, while you workout, you're right. Exercise should not be something you only do because you feel you have to; exercise should be an expression of who you are and, more importantly, fun.
World's Gym
Instead of an annual pass to the gym why not an annual pass to a theme park? If you're wasting money on a gym membership you never use, try putting that money into real adventures that appeal to you. Save for adventure vacations, the beach, theme parks, any trip that gets you moving.
New Play-out Equipment
Think about those single seater chain swings they have at parks. Now think of gripping those chains tight above your head and pumping your legs to gain more altitude. Slide your hands up and down the chain in time with the swings and you have a legitimate exercise going. Remember, those new monkey bars, the trampoline, and the swing are part of your "obstacle course", not "private playground", should the neighbors ask.
Make Small Deposits
Extra movement is like spare change; it can add up. So, dance to one song, take an extra flight of stairs, walk for five minutes before lunch; take any extra opportunity you can to move more.
Don't Settle for Less with Lessons
Don't look for an exercise class; look for an activity you love or want to try. Rock climbing, traditional or indoor, dance lessons, tae kwon do, fencing, tennis, do some research and see what you like. Many places will let you audit a class or two at a reduced cost or even for free before you make a commitment.
