Bored with your Workouts?

Here are some tips to spice up your exercise routines and keep them interesting and fun!

Try and New Sport

I am a natural born runner and love to run, but even I get sick of running every once in a while. If you find yourself in this position, try a different sport such as biking or swimming. Not only will you work different muscles but the new activity will be more motivating and challenging.

Sign up for a Competition

Whether it’s a half marathon, triathlon, or Tough Mudder, when you sign up for a competition you will become more motivated to train because you have a definite goal to work towards. Sometimes we need a goal in sight to really pump up the motivation in our workouts and get us excited.

Do Something Different Every Day

Try to not do the same workout two days in a row. Alternating your days with cardio, strength training, and interval training will provide a well-rounded workout and will keep your workouts exciting and interesting

Get Outdoors!


Don’t confine yourself to the gym 7 days a week for your workouts, get outside! Go for a hike with your dog, take a run somewhere new, or find an open field to do interval training. I always try and find a great running route when I am traveling. The change of scenery will give you something new to look at and help motivate you. My husband and I love to take our dog hiking on the weekends. Its good exercise for us and the dog and is a great way to get outdoors and spend time together.
