Method 3: Taking Exercise Classes
1. Take a spinning class. Check to see if your local gym or community center offers a spinning class. Or, go to a cycling center. In these classes, all of the participants will have their own bikes and will follow the directions of an instructor at the front of the room. The routines usually last between 30 and 60 minutes and start off slowly before building momentum.
Most spin sessions include a series of sprints followed by cool - down periods.
Some spin classes even have a video or music element.

Changing up your workouts will keep you engaged and motivated. "Strike a balance between resistance training, intervals, longer duration cardiovascular work, and flexibility. Don't stick with one approach, then flip after a few weeks. Mix it up weekly, daily."
2. Enroll in a step class. During a step aerobics class, you’ll step up, down, and around a 4 to 12 inches (10 to 30 cm) raised platform. You’ll use different patterns to strengthen your muscles and ratchet up your heart rate. Many gyms offer step classes that last 30- 60 minutes in which an instructor shows you the pattern to follow.
3. Sign up for a boot camp. Most of these camps are organized according to a military model with a series of interval moves. In a 30-60 minute class, you might do jumping, push-ups, squats, or sprints. Most boot camps run between 3-6 weeks with meetings between 1-3 times per week. Personal trainers offer camps as well as gyms and community centers.

4. Take a water aerobics or water jogging class. This is a great option if you have a knee or leg injury and are trying to reintroduce cardio. These classes take place in a pool at a gym or community center. They usually last between 45 and 60 minutes. When you are in the water, you’ll practice running or jumping while wearing or carrying weights.
5. Try Zumba. Zumba is a dance workout set to Latin American music. Many recreation and community centers offer Zumba classes. During these classes, an instructor will show you dance moves that alternate between high- and low-intensity to get your heart rate up. The classes often last 60 minutes. Zumba is a fun way to get cardio exercise without it feeling like work.
Cardio can be fun. Find stimulating ways to make your treadmill workouts more engaging. Create a playlist of your favorite workout songs, watch a show or fitness class while you're on the machine, or try a dance routine from YouTube. To mix things up, switch between cardio machines like the treadmill, bike, rowing machine, and elliptical. Remember, you don't have to stick to traditional cardio exercises. You can also try fun activities like salsa dancing or playing a sport you enjoyed as a child.
In this method number 3, I talked about the steps to add sports activity to your life and try different directions.
