5 Tips to Prevent Boredom With Exercise

5 Tips to Prevent Boredom With Exercise
Exercise is great, but it can get repetitive. After a
while of just doing the same things over and over again you
might find yourself stuck in a rut. Not only will doing
the same exercises over and over again prevent you from
seeing more results but it will also allow your body to
adapt to what your giving it.

This is why it's very important to change up your workouts
every two weeks at the least. This will give your body
enough time to change and grow from the exercises you do
without having your body to adapt to the exercises. By
doing this, you never allow your body to get to a point
where it adapts as well as it'll keep your workouts
interesting because you'll always be doing something
different. Because you'll always be changing up your
workouts, you'll be able to keep seeing results as you
progress in your routine. Another benefit to doing
something different every two weeks is that you won't set
your body up to plateau or get stuck at a certain time of
your routine.

There are many different ways to spice up your routine.
Here are the top 5 ways you can easily adjust your workouts
to make them more interesting and prevent boredom.

1. Use Different Equipment

Now a days, you have the benefit to choose from an array of
different exercise equipments and tools. From foam rollers
to BOSU balls every different piece of equipment can add a
little bit more challenge to your exercises. What you can
try to do is look for a piece of equipment that you don't
really know how to use and use it for 2 weeks. This will
give enough to time to learn how to use it , and how to
incorporate it into your routine. If you end up liking it
then great if not move on to a different piece of
equipment. So already by following this recommendation
you'll be able to try numerous amounts of fitness tools
within a matter of weeks.

2. Workout With a Partner/Group

You know that saying two heads are better than one? Well
it kind of works the same way for exercise. If you choose
to work with a partner or friend you can benefit a whole
lot in the motivation and social departments, however one
great thing that you get when working with a partner is
that you can come up with a crazy amount of exercises that
you wouldn't be able to do by yourself.

3. Learn New Exercises

This is probably one of the easiest tips to employ. There
are many resources out there that can teach you how to
perform different exercises that fit your preference.
Whether you get ideas from magazines or from sessions with
a trainer you can definitely pick up some great exercise to
add to your routine.

4. Participate in Sports

Do you remember playing sports as a kid? Did it feel like
exercise? For the most part not really…you were too busy
focusing on what was going on that you didn't realize you
were exercising. Playing sports give you the opportunity
to work super hard without you knowing. So if you don't
like to exercise you could try and find a community centre
that has different sports that you can play or even join a
local house league.

5. Create An Obstacle Course

If your looking for a creative way to add a little spice to
your workouts you can look at making some Obstacle courses
for yourself. You can make as long or as short as you
want, it's totally up to your preference. Personally what
I do is look for a playground with monkey bars, benches and
other objects I can implement into my obstacle course.
Group 6-8 exercises together and perform one right after
the other. It's simple and creative way to kick your
workout up a notch and get some serious results.
