You can combine different forms of exercise, outdoor and indoor workouts, cardio and strength training, high and medium intensity, the choices are varied. In group activities, instead of taking tea together, opt for nature walks, swimming, golf, tennis etc.
Remain Motivated and Safe:
If you do what you like then you are sure to keep motivation high, make sure you have the basics right and avoid all sorts of injuries. A warm-up is essential before a workout to keep injuries at bay. As you increase the level of workout your body temperature rises. This helps in burning calories more efficiently.

Workouts can be challenging, taxing but never painful. A good session makes you feel like a winner who has achieved something, it should not make you feel completely exhausted. If there is any pain in your muscles or joints, you should stop right away. Consult an expert before you resume your workout.
