While it is raining, slush and cold outside, you will not be able to run around the stadium, ride a bike or play tennis on the court. If you don't want to go to the gym because you are afraid of getting bored, this selection is for you.

1. Capoeira

A Brazilian martial art that combines elements of dance and aerobics. The training takes place under funny Latin American tunes played on traditional musical instruments: berimbau, agogo, atabake and others.

The whole practice of capoeira takes place in motion: even in the intervals between exercises, you need to perform ginga - transferring body weight from one leg to another with the forearm covering the face. Jinga is a pose from which you can strike or evade an opponent's attack.

In the first lessons of capoeira, the movements and strikes will be simple, but over time you can move on to complex attacks and movements, such as handstands and over-the-head rolls.

2. Airyoga

The perfect workout after a stressful day at work. Air yoga, or anti-gravity - yoga in hanging hammocks: with their help, inverted asanas are performed, which give the feeling of flight and weightlessness. By the way, silk hammocks can withstand up to 160 kilograms.

Air yoga also helps to tighten the core muscles and stretch the spine - this is especially useful for those who sit a lot. From the side, the classes look like complex acrobatic training, but in fact everything is much simpler: antigravity does not require prior preparation and experience in yoga.

3. Squash

This sport is very similar to tennis: the task is to hit the ball with a racket. True, there is no net in squash, and the opponent is standing next to you.

The game begins by throwing the ball into the front wall, then hitting it off with the racket before the ball hits the floor twice. You can beat off to the front wall or to the side ones. The main thing is not to send the ball into the out zone.

Squash is not only an interesting game, but also an excellent cardio workout: you can lose more than 500 calories in an hour lesson.

4. Badminton

We are used to thinking of badminton as a street game that is cool to play with friends in nature. But you can also do it indoors. By the way, this is even easier: the wind will not blow off the shuttlecock and change its trajectory.

Badminton is not just an entertainment, but a full-fledged sport that is included in the program of the Summer Olympic Games.

You can play badminton with two or four people. The rules are simple: you need to throw the shuttlecock over the net and not let it touch the field. The main task is to repulse the projectile so that it lands on the side of the enemy.

5. Slackline

A sport that makes you feel like a circus artist. Slackline - walking on a nylon or polyester sling stretched between two points above the ground, water or the floor in a regular gym. The sling does not have to be too high: you can even start from 10 centimeters above the surface.

Depending on the height and degree of tension of the sling, the slackline is divided into types. Lowline is suitable for beginners: the height is up to one and a half meters, the tension is not strong, the length of the line is no more than 40 meters. Over time, you can move on to more extreme views, for example, a tricline - slakline with tricks or a highline - slakeline at a height, usually performed with belay.

6. Rock climbing

To climb a real mountain, you need to buy professional equipment, look for rocks and wait for comfortable weather conditions, but you can climb to the top of the climbing wall at any time of the year and without special preparation.

The surfaces of the climbing wall are of different levels of difficulty: inclined or flat, with a simple or complex set of holds. Climbing is not just muscle training; it is beneficial for developing coordination, endurance, and flexibility. They also teach how to look for solutions in difficult situations.

7. Cycling

Cycling is more than just a modern stationary bike. Here you need to pedal with other cyclists, competing with them or just enjoying the company. The trainer follows the course of the lesson: he controls the technique, encourages and sets the pace.

The lesson takes place in front of a large screen. Sometimes they show videos with beautiful landscapes: an imitation of a trip through the mountains or the sea coast is created.

8. Jumping on a trampoline

First, it's fun. Secondly, it effectively burns calories and pumps muscles. Training on a trampoline can consist of simple jumps in place, jumps with a leg raise, jumps from a squat, and other forms. You can even perform complex tricks, such as somersaults: the main thing is to follow safety measures and experiment only under the supervision of a trainer.
