Simple and Fun Ideas for Physical Activities that Relieve Stress

Video games are fun, we get it.

At the same time, the adrenaline rush that comes with outdoor games that involve whole-body movement can be refreshing, especially when we are stuck in a scenario where we spend all day long inside the house – from studying to entertainment.

Let’s explore some fun ideas that allow you to have simple physical activities that are good for your body and mind.

• Time to bring out the Frankenstein in you!

Who here loves Frankenstein or Zombies? This idea is perfect for you.

You have to put your hands straight out – just like our favorite monster, then bring one leg out straight to a point where it is parallel to the ground. Now, it is time to touch the toe with the opposite hand. If we are recreating, the growling helps to a great extent!

Try it with your friends/family, and you will find it exciting and humorous at the same time!

• Let’s hop like a bunny!

Did you know that skipping can stimulate both the left and right sides of the brain?

If you are looking for an all-in-one exercise that improves heart rate, works your body, strengthens your core while feeding your brain? The fun skipping/hopping game can come in handy. Keep score on the number of jumps you do and beat your personal best.

You can either be your own competition or choose to challenge your friends with it.

• Recreating the Crab Walk!

We are challenging you to an ultimate crab walk challenge.

How are we going to play this? Let’s see. Sit on both your feet in front and hands behind you. Now try lifting your hips off the ground, and start walking on your feet and hands. It is fun, silly, and improves your core strength at ease. Thinking of raising stakes?

Try to balance different things on the belly and do the same. Keep an endpoint, and start the crab race.

Anything that gets you up and moving can boost your mental and physical health. The real trick is to keep it entertaining, so you never let the practice go. Adding an extra layer to your exercise and turning it into a game is the way to go! If you are running out of ideas, go to your parents. They grew up playing such goofy games and can help you find something interesting as well!
