Getting Bored With Your Workout Routine

Getting Bored With Your Workout Routine

It is well beyond the first of the year and you have done it. You have stuck to your plans for a healthy future. Perhaps you cut back on eating out or decided to drink only water and completely cut out the sodas. Whatever the case, you have denied yourself and now you are wondering why you are putting yourself though this torture. If this describes you or someone you know then pay close attention. You are about to discover the 3 secrets for rejuvenating any workout routine.

It Happens So Expect It

The first step toward jump starting a worn out routine is to be honest with you. The truth is that there is not something wrong with you. In fact, the fact that your current workout is boring you proves that you are desirous of new and developing challenges.

 The feeling of boredom is completely normal but your response to that feeling will determine your success in breathing life back into an old routine.

Turn That Frown Upside Down

Did you know that a frown upside down is a smile? The same holds true for your workouts. If you do cardio in the morning, weight training in the afternoon and Pilates in the evening, the easiest way to spice things up is to switch the workout schedules. 

Over time, your body becomes accustomed to certain workouts and schedules. By simply flipping the times at which you do certain exercises, you will immediately feel as though you have a completely new fitness routine.

Move On To The Next One

Quitters never win and winners never quit. In the fitness world, that is the biggest lie ever told. First of all, when doing weight training, if your body is telling you to quit, I do suggest you listen. 

Countless of accidents have occurred because people did not understand when they should quit. Here are the top 3 reasons when you should scrap your exercise routine for a better one.

1. When you are no longer seeing results 2. When what you are doing injures you repeatedly 3. When advised by a doctor to do so

Allow yourself to be okay with trying something new. It is not always necessary to completely start fresh but at times that is an advisable course of action. Evaluate your situation individually and reap the rewards that come with deciding to push through the boredom.
