Exercise doesn’t have to be boring! For a lot of people, going for a run or lifting weights sounds completely mind-numbing. But it doesn’t have to be! There are lots of activities that are physically and mentally fun. Dancing? You’re on! Hitting the softball field? You know we’re all over that. Jog a 5K to raise money for queer youth around the state? Fitness is even better when it’s about more than just building muscle!
Here’s the thing: getting active with other people can make all the difference. All of a sudden, exercise becomes fun, a chance to connect with other people and build community. Here in Missouri, we’ve got a surprising number of active, sports-y LGBTQ groups. From swimming and running to the Gay Rodeo and Gay Games, we are definitely a community on the move. Join up!
