When balancing a job, family, friends and other commitments, exercise can often go by the wayside. It can be hard to find time to look after your physical and mental well-being and, when there is time, it can be hard to find the motivation. Social fitness is an excellent way to exercise, keep the mind active and make new friends. Due to its social nature, it’s a terrific way to try something new and learn new skills in an uncompetitive environment. Give some of these a try.
Tennis
Tennis is the ultimate social sport. People of all ages and backgrounds play social tennis, so it’s a great way to meet people from all walks of life. While not too strenuous, tennis can be an excellent workout for the legs, arms, mind and coordination. There is nothing quite like the sense of accomplishment and camaraderie on the court after an epic rally.
Group Fitness
Going to the gym can be daunting, but exercising within a class can make the act of exercise more fun and accessible. Group fitness is an excellent way to build a foundational understanding of fitness taught by experts. Classes will ensure you have a great workout among friends and keep you accountable.
Mixed Netball
While netball has long been a sport popular with women, mixed netball is rising in popularity with more and more men playing every year. It’s a fast-moving game and requires an element of teamwork that will see you meld with teammates in a way that is difficult to achieve in any other sport.
Pilates
Pilates is an accessible exercise, no matter your age or fitness level. It increases core strength, posture, flexibility and energy while decreasing stress and back pain. Pilates classes are a great way to exercise among likeminded people.
Lawn Bowls
Lawn bowls is a low-impact sport enjoyed by people of all ages, providing a fun and therapeutic exercise improving fitness, coordination and mental wellbeing. It also has the added social element of allowing for plenty of time to chat with teammates and opponents.
