Workout can also be fun, especially if you love dancing. Zumba classes are done indoors; hence, you do not have to face the heat. The calories burned in an hour are pretty high, a great way to stay fit and agile. This is a group workout, hence a great way to socialize and stay motivated throughout the class.

  1. Spin classes:

This is another way of working out indoors and burning high calories. Again, this is a cardio session where you spin the cycle to the beat. The mix of slow and fast spinning is a great way to modulate your heart rate and burn maximum calories. This is done in large groups to keep you motivated.
