Make exercise an adventure, and you’ll never have to talk yourself into it. Think outside the gym and play the daredevil. These activities are sure to put a sweaty glow on your brow — and a smile on your face:

• Geocaching. Indiana Jones™… Lara Croft™… you. Play an exhilarating game of turbo hide-and-seek and get your heart pumping while you’re hunting for treasure.

• Paddle sports. Explore activities such as canoeing, kayaking, and stand-up paddle boarding. These scenic sports build muscle and challenge your heart while you enjoy beautiful water views.

• Live Action Role Playing. Or LARPing, to those in the know. It might seem silly to some, but LARPers in the midst of an amazing fantasy adventure are living out a swashbuckling novel. Wear a costume, swing heavy weaponry, and run for your life. No workout is more exciting.

Get ready for your adventure.
