Commonly recommended, sensible methods to make exercise more fun (or less unfun) include: Be social: exercise with friends, a group, or a good, qualified trainer.27 Entertain yourself: listen to music, podcasts, or books, or watch a movie. Exercise outside in a beautiful environment. Dance or play sports and games. Because variety is enjoyable, experiment and mix things up. Choose realistic goals based on time, not performance, so you don’t set yourself up for disappointment. Reward yourself for exercising.
