Workout ruts...They're not a good feeling, but you know what, it’s nearly impossible to be 100% on your game at all time. So, if you're like me, and can't give yourself the motivation to stick to your workout schedule, here are a few tips that help.
Try something new
There are so many different types of workouts, it’s quite entertaining actually. Try out Zumba, barre method, pilates...Switch from hot yoga to a different style, or vice versa. Join a tennis league, or learn a new sport. Are you always on the elliptical? Please, get off of that darn thing. Variation is the spice of life—especially in the workout department.
Take your workouts outside
Buy a TRX or some resistance bands, then say adios to A/C, and say hello to some good ol’ fresh air. Working out outside does wonders for your mood, motivation, and creativity. It’s amazing the workout you can come up with just a park bench or playground.
Vary your movements
Do you always use machines? Switch to dumbbells. Do you always use two arm and two leg movements, switch it up to single arm/single leg moves. Try out some kettle bells, resistance bands, or something new. There are so many ways to do a squat or bench press, it’s crazy.
Buy some new workout gear
You can find quality, comfortable workout gear basically anywhere. Problem is, it's usually really expensive. I usually go to Marshalls. They aren't lying when they say they have great brands for less, especially when it comes to yoga pants and sports bras. So, Marshalls is always an awesome place to find workout gear.
You don't even need to buy "workout gear," because even a new pair of shoes, a bikini to swim in, or heck, even a new pair of headphones can be motivation. Us humans are weird like that.
Try a new gym
Try a different gym. Or, investigate in making a home gym. A TRX, some dumbbells, a pull up bar, and a stability ball are all you need for a good start. Plus, you can workout whenever you choose to.
There you go. Hopefully these tips help you out if you are on the struggle bus.
