Looking for some excitement? Vary your workouts so you don't get bored. You will also reap more of the benefits by training different muscle groups through different kinds of activities.

If the idea of jogging or cycling bores you to tears, you might want to try adventure sports, such as:

* Kickboxing

* Snowboarding

* Skateboarding

* Mountain Biking

* Surfing

* Sandboarding

* Rock Climbing

* Kayaking

* Scuba

* Pilates

* Yoga

* T'ai Chi

You will need your parents' permission to invest some time and money in safety equipment and lessons for most of these sports. All of these activities carry risks for serious injury and it is important to learn the proper techniques before trying them out on your own. It's also a good idea to try these sports with a friend, so you can watch out for each other and share new things that you learn.
