Fitness Fads can really surprise you. Some of them don't pass muster (or the test of time), but a surprising number of them are incredibly effective. Personally, I love the feeling after a good work out. My energy is up and endorphins are high. At that moment I feel I could take on the world. Unfortunately, after a week or two of the same old work out I start to get bored. Once things get tedious, you're more likely to stop working out, which is why fun fitness fads can help. So, today I put together 8 fitness fads you have to try in hopes of breaking up the gym time blues.
