Making Animal Exercise Games Interesting And Challenging

Regardless of who you talk to, everyone wants a challenge even when we don't want to admit it. Challenges teach us how to handle ourselves in certain situations and in this case on fitness, it's to challenge your will and creating results. When I take on the Animal Dice Game almost daily, i'm constantly challenged because I never know what comes next and when something tough comes up, I must be prepared or I won't be able to finish it. I keep going until I feel I've had enough.

For some, the dice game isn't for them, maybe they'd prefer a different game that keeps them interested. Challenge yourself in ways that keep your brain stimulated because if you get bored, it could make you weaker from an overall point of view. How about a game of Tag? That could be one of the toughest playouts of your life yet it can be fun; of course you'll need someone or multiple people to do this with but still. Why not have a race, this builds speed, cardiovascular/muscular endurance and pushes you to great limits. Pretend you're caged up and there's very little room to move around in, for animal moves this is very challenging because you can't go past a certain amount of space so you have to coordinate how you move around, it's not easy trust me.

So what's the point of having a silly game in order to exercise? For one it's not silly at all, it is taking yourself out of the norm and thrusting into a world of the unknown and although you understand the objective, what comes next is out of your control. I like the dice because it is unpredictable and you have to be constantly aware of what comes next, you can use it to apply any game you wish and it is literally a form of exercise roulette. Getting fit doesn't have to be boring in order to get results; a matter of fact, you can get results faster if you're stimulated and it makes you keep going without actually telling you to. You're enjoying it and having a good time, sure it can be tough and yes it takes effort but it is also an adventure. Makes you feel like a kid again.

If I'm really ambitious with the dice game, I would roll sometimes for doubles or tripling the amount of steps/reps per animal so you want to talk about challenging, this is the pinnacle; think about it, the amount of steps needed to play this is tough on its own when you just have a 1-20 rep scheme but double or triple that, it is insane. It's not easy bear crawling for up to 60 steps but what about 60 Frog Jumps or having to hop on one leg each for a total of 120 in one set, it is brutal and you can only go so many rounds until you're just ready to collapse. After hundreds of rounds and literally thousands of reps, I still want to go back and do it again, does that make me crazy? Maybe, but it keeps me interested and actually wanting to challenge myself. Be bold and have fun, it is just a game after all, or is it?
