2. Cycling through the city.

Bicycles are becoming more and more common in the capital cities of Australia. Sure we aren't Amsterdam yet, but the interest in cycling through the city centre is on the rise. Brisbane City Council offers a very convenient service across the metropolitan area: Citycyle . Anyone can use the cycle stations, opting to hire a bike for an hour or a day. You are given security codes to unlock your bike and enable its return. The only thing you need to organise yourself is a helmet. But, with plenty of beautiful scenic routes to take, it is a small price to pay for truly enjoyable exercise.

3. Test your Ultimate Frisbee skills.

Truth be told 'Ultimate Frisbee' is a Canadian sport that has been popularised in Brisbane by converted Griffith University Students. It is a fast paced game that uses principles from netball, AFL and rugby to create a unisex game that is both sociable and addictive. You can opt to join a team for a season and play weekly, or you can sign up to the ' BUML ' group on Facebook to find out about weekend tournaments and learn to play events. Don't discount the old-school memories of Frisbee on the beach, this sport is a cardio onslaught with the average player racking upwards of 5km per game.

4. Improve your tennis skills at Queensland Tennis Academy.

Thanks to people like Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal Tennis has enjoyed increasing popularity. It is a game that has both fitness and finesse and everyone should put it on their fitness list of things to try. A tennis lesson at Queensland's Tennis Academy in Carseldine is a great way to trial the traditional sport.

5. Challenge yourself with Rock Climbing.

River life Brisbane offers real adventure fitness with rock climbing sessions at the beautiful Kangaroo Point cliffs. Participants are guided by qualified and experienced instructors. The cliffs themselves are 20m high and can be a daunting prospect, but there are plenty of people there to encourage and support you whether you are a novice or a budding expert. Packages or single sessions can be organised depending on your interest level. Rock climbing is adrenalin inducing and a full-body workout that can take you to a whole new level of fitness.
