How to Make Exercise WOW!
The key to getting benefit from exercise & to feel the WOW Factor is to be in it for the long-term. Fitness professionals understand that in order for clients and people in general to continue to do an activity that improves their health, the key is to engage in the behavior often and on a regular basis. Sure someone can do an activity for a couple of months and lose some unwanted weight, but unless that exercise is continued, the excess weight will come back. The benefits will be short-lived and won't do much for health over a lifetime. The results of less disease, longer life, better moods, less prescriptions, better mobility, less pain and stress... and the list goes on, will never truly be realized if activities are not continued. This is why it is so important for people to find exercises that are something they enjoy doing.

here to start:
We are all different and motivated by various factors which means that there is no simple answer to making workouts fun. To start with, it is definitely important to know what activities you don't enjoy or are not physically able to perform. Though they may be good exercises, there is no obligation to partake. Healthy active people are constantly being told by others, "I know I should be going to the gym" or "I guess I should start jogging again". Apparently they shouldn't be, because if they enjoyed these activities they would be doing them, at least once in a while. If you don't like to jog, do not feel that you need to be jogging to become healthier and more active. It just won't work.

Begin looking at all of the different types of activities you can engage in based on your physical limitations (for example, if you have bad knees, jogging or snow skiing may not be activities to consider). Instead, you may want to look at swimming, bike riding or other low-impact choices that don't put excessive pressure on your knees. Make a complete list of every activity that you can think of (ask any fitness professional) and don't be afraid of jotting down new/unfamiliar choices. If you belong to a gym, be sure to look at and try all of the different equipment or exercise choices (ask a trainer or staff member).
Go ahead and feel compelled to work out because it is that important to become more healthy from exercise. And be strict about doing something just about every day for around an hour or so, as that is what it takes for true benefits to be reached over the long haul.
When you come across a new activity or suggestion, give it a whirl! Don't be close minded to trying something new, even if it feels awkward at first or if it takes time to become proficient. A little perseverance and effort can lead to new avenues for you and keep you motivated as well.

Another key to improving overall fitness and avoiding burnout or boredom is to do more than any one single activity... and to not always do the same thing every session. Mix it up. Going to the gym to lift weights, take a class or use cardio equipment is great, but be sure to do different routines, change weights, reverse order of use, take new classes or use a different piece of equipment each week or so.
