ExcerptAdd Play to Take the Routine Out of ExercisePlay is the ultimate in cross-training, as you move your body through many ranges of motion at different intensities. You are likely to see gains in strength, stamina and even weight loss—not to mention an increased feeling of liveliness and enthusiasm. And when you’re having a good time, you’ll forget you’re actually working out. Here are a few ways to inject fun into your physical activity.

You’ll forget how much you’re doing for your upper arms and back. • Jump rope—alone or with a partner. |
