One of the most underrated athletic activities, Parkour is the perfect practice for you if you struggle with lack of exercise gear. This requires absolutely zero investment in expensive equipment, as it mainly involves the athletes to jump, pivot and cross every hurdle there is to get from their starting point to their destination in creative and fluid ways. As there is no assisting gear, it requires long hours of disciplined training to ensure that the practitioners do this unscathed.  

If you are tired of the treadmill and the exercise cycle, then perhaps an offbeat exercise like wet biking is for you. It involves an apparatus where a tub of water is fitted to an exercise cycle.

This way, your buttocks, lower back and legs have an incredible workout as you pedal against the force of the water.

For the uninitiated, goat yoga is an exciting practice that helps you try out your asanas while a young goat or kid is prancing around you.

It also leads to a boost in the serotonin and dopamine (which are associated with happiness) in your body.

Be it lemur yoga you with to practice or goat yoga, this is best done with a trained professional watching over you.
