Of course, there are other ways you can shed those pounds other than laboring on gym equipment. You can definitely shed off those pounds in fun, creative ways! Read on to know how you can change your workout routine to an enjoyable one.

Yoga is one thing, but Yoga in a paddleboard? TAKE MY MONEY. YOGAqua is a fitness method wherein you do Vinyasa Yoga while doing Stand-Up Paddle boarding (SUP). This workout is done outdoors with a view, so doing YOGAqua for more than an hour will definitely inspire you a lot.
