As runners, we all know there are off day activities that can be enjoyable, as well as improve your performance. However, even if you’re just a runner for fun and aren’t all that concerned with Personal Record (like many), motivation is still a key factor in taking that next run. Admittedly, sometimes those off day activities are drudgery. Sometimes the run itself can be drudgery, so instead of lazing around and falling into the lull of inactivity, let’s get up on our feet and get some extra push on those off days. Even if you don’t know that you’re looking for new activities, these 12 just might entice you to change your routine.

1. Jet-Packing

If you happen to land yourself in Singapore or you are already there, this activity is a must-try (but not for the faint of heart!) Essentially, jet-packing is pilot training without the plane! Cost depends upon the package you choose, but packages start from S$228. Advantages to your running are hidden in the strength and balance you’ll employ while zooming through the sky.

2. Xtend Barre

This is a unique way to get your workout in without the impact of running, giving your joints the day off they need. This fast-paced, vigorous activity involves performing dance, ballet and Pilates isometric movements set to some music that you just might love. You can expect strengthening, lengthening and toning of the arms, thighs, and abs without lifting heavy weights when you perform this activity. Classes are held in many areas, ranging in price depending on the studio and package you opt for.

3. Stand Up Paddleboarding

This activity is exactly what it sounds like. Stand up paddleboarding will get you out on the water for your daily dose of balance, energy and strength exertion. Lessons can be purchased with the paddleboard rental ranging from S$60 and up, depending on the size of the group that goes paddleboarding with you. That’s if you don’t want to try it alone.

If your mental game is in need of improvement for those challenging runs, give Trapped a try. Purported to even increase IQ, this game will test your mental abilities and challenge you to keep your cool under pressure by trapping you and leaving you to figure a way out! Prices range depending on the season and location, but a moderate S$19 price tag is widely available.

Unicycling options in Singapore are readily available through Team-Uni Unicycles, for instance, by offering cycles for purchase and team support.

6. Cable Ski

Readily available on the Singapore coast, cable ski encourages full-body muscle use by engaging the core as well as the limbs. This unique way to water ski involves pulling the skiers hands and rope by a cable that is electrically-driven. This is a fun replacement for the weight room grind. The price range is dependent upon the day of your visit (weekdays are cheaper starting at S$38/hour).
