3 Tips To Stay Fit When You Get Bored
You started out strong.
You worked out every day, hitting the gym come hell or high water.
Your clothes started fitting better, everyone at work commented on how much energy you had and your partner kept giving you those “looks.”
And then you got bored.
That gym routine? Well, you noticed it turned into the same thing every week.
And the diet? Grilled chicken and broccoli get old after a while.
So what should you do?
How do you keep your fitness up when it gets boring?
Phone a Friend
Fitness is always more fun with friends, so ask your bestie to join you for a class at our gym in West Ashley, SC!
Both of you will be doing each other a favor!
Think back on the last time you wanted to get out of something, but you had already told a friend you would be there.
When you have a friend who wants to improve their health and fitness, it’s way easier to get out of bed, hit the road, and get to the gym to workout everyday.
Especially in the cold winter months when it’s easier to hibernate and watch Netflix, the gym can be your means of connecting with other people.
Health is about more than exercise.
We need human connection, so hit two birds with one stone!
Mix It Up
Always been a runner but getting tired of the same old scenery?
Try mixing in some strength training!
Been pumping iron since Arnold was governor?
Get out there and use your muscles to move your body!
Get out on the Greenway in West Ashley, SC, go for a run on the beach on James Island, SC, or get some friends together to play a game of flag football.
If your gym routine is feeling stale, some novelty can be just the trick you need to help you enjoy your fitness again. The routine you’re bored with now was fresh and new at one point; it’s time to find that fresh feeling again.
The same goes for your nutrition. If you’re tired of the same old healthy recipes, try choosing a few new ones to prep this week!
Find a Coach
Accountability is the name of the game for long-term health, and working with a personal trainer near you can help prevent stagnation.
A good coach will help keep you on track while providing the novelty you need to keep boredom at bay.
Whether that means novelty in your workouts or your nutrition plan, a coach can help you set realistic goals and keep you focused on them when motivation wanes.
Boredom is inevitable.
As humans, we are wired to always be entertained and looking for the next thing to keep us occupied.
We don’t want your fitness journey to be boring.
We want your fitness journey to be exciting, and we always want you to be striving for that next goal!
If you’re a sitting duck right now when it comes to the gym, we can help shake things up!
