“If you see me running you should start running because something is probably chasing me.”
People who set their alarms at 6am to go for a run confuses you. You don’t understand how people can deem running as “calming” or “peaceful.” The idea of having to pay to run when you can do that for free is just plain weird to you. When you run for 5 minutes, it feels like 30 minutes.
If the above relates to you and the only kind of running you ever do is the Running Man – the dance move or that hilarious Korean series, then you’re in luck! We’ve compiled a list of other alternatives that’ll make you break a sweat because why run when you can… not?
1. Gym Classes @ Amore
Sign up for a gym membership to enjoy the facilities and the classes! Gyms like Amore offer different types of classes for you to choose from. Take up a dance class and sweat it out through a variety of street jazz and hip hop routines seen in today’s hottest music videos and movies. Or you can challenge your coordination and improve your postural awareness while exercising the core muscles for stability in their FitBall class – a fun workout that improves your cardiovascular system and reflexes. If you need something to ease your mind after a hectic day at work, then maybe Yoga will be a better fit. Psst… just in case you’re wondering if this is for you, you can try out free trials at Amore Fitness too!

3. Stand Up Paddle Boarding @ SUPfellas
Up it a notch at SUPfellas with Stand Up Paddling (aka SUP) which combines both elements of surfing and kayaking.

Since SUP is a low impact exercise, you’re able to workout and burn those calories without straining your joints. And if you have a furry friend, feel free to bring them along to your workouts!
