If you live near a body of water — or are gearing up to travel somewhere that does — look into local paddleboard yoga classes. Not only do they serve up a good photo opportunity and a chance to hang out in the water, but they'll challenge you mentally and physically more than you though possible. We recommend this one for the more experienced yogi, but if you have the opportunity to try an intro class, then don't hesitate.

"Indoor climbing involves using your hands and feet to climb up, down, or across (bouldering) a predefined path using specialized safety equipment. You can expect a physically and mentally demanding workout that tests strength, agility, endurance, and balance — not to mention your patience," says Ligler.

The benefit of an indoor rock climbing session is that you have a trainer right there with you, along with all the safety equipment needed. Ligler calls them the "perfect training ground" for beginners since they allow you to learn the ropes and develop strength and coordination needed for real-world applications.

She says, "Rock climbing has often been compared to a more physical version of chess — focusing less on speed and more on the technical journey. Long-term, rock climbing is an amazing total body workout with cross-training strength and agility relatable to nearly all other sports and workouts."
