They say, “When your legs can’t run anymore, run with your heart”. Running can get boring and strenuous when you do it for a long time. But running is the most effective form of exercise that lets you lose a considerable amount of calories in a short span of time. Running lets your entire body to actively engage in the workout process thereby giving a holistic effect to your body’s fitness. Almost every runner in the world admits that running is not always fun and enjoyable. Often, it requires a lot of push and self-motivation to do it consistently. When done right, running can prove to be a refreshing exercise relieving you of stress. We have some interesting suggestions for you that will help you get on your feet every time and run the fun way.

1. Go creative with GPS: A lot of people these days are using this technique to convey their wishes to their loved ones. All you have to do is track the route you want to run in such a way that when it gets highlighted it actually conveys something. The track can convey wishes to your close ones or you can even try forming simple figures like a teddy bear or a tree or even your country’s map.
2. Dirty is the new fun: Once in a while you can engage in mud runs, glow runs or Spartan runs where running goes to a totally different level. The fun part is the fact that it’s a group activity involving a different kind of a trail where the fun is all about getting to play in the mud.
3. Run with nature: The next time you plan to choose your track, look for ones that are close to water bodies like oceans, rivers and lakes. It’s even better when you run as the sun sets as it has been proven that the hues radiated by the sun at this time have the most relaxing effect. Some people enjoy running by the beach during sunrise and it has almost the same positive effect.
4. Pet or Buddy –You choose: Try running with your favourite buddy- be it your pet or your friend. If you are a person who loves to talk while running, take a friend with you and catch up on updates. If you prefer to get immersed in your own thoughts instead of talking, take your pet with you and give both yourselves the much needed exercise.                                              
5. Watch your favourite sitcom/series: Who said the treadmill is boring? All you need to pep it up is a screen in front with your favourite series running. Studies have shown that people who watch their favourite show while running on the treadmill seem to workout for a longer time compared to the ones who simply listen to music.
6. Take pics/selfies: If you have a small group of friends who also run on a regular basis, try forming a group on Whatsapp and start posting pictures or selfies of something interesting that you find along the path on which you choose to run. Or you can get your friends to hunt for the location that you shared in the picture and ask them to give the same pose in the same location and share the pictures. The best way is to have a few images shared on the group every week, along with clues about the location so that the runners can start hunting for it.
