3 Reasons You’re Bored of Working Out

Exercising, while tough, is great at the beginning. You’re full of motivation, you’re full of anticipation to see what you’re capable of as your endurance improves, and you’re excited about what you could achieve in the long run. For many, that ‘feeling’ has a time limit, and soon you’ll find yourself using excuses like “I need to wash my hair” to avoid getting out of your visit to the gym. Sound familiar? Here's why, and here's how you can change it... You’re sick to death of the same routine There comes a point where you need to shake things up a little. Sticking to the same workout routine every day is going to get boring pretty quickly! Switch it about every couple of weeks and you’ll find that you’re not only enjoying it more, but you’re also working considerably harder. Your schedule needs re-thinking There’s a good chance that you’re begrudging working out all because of the time of day you usually head down to the gym. Picture this, it’s a dark, rainy evening and you’re yet to go and sweat it out on the treadmill. Not feeling it? It’s hardly surprising. Instead, trial morning workouts when your energy levels are completely refreshed and ready for the day ahead. You need some kind of distraction Fed up of listening to the sound of your own workout induced irregular breathing? You need a gym partner to motivate you, train with you and applaud you post-workout, or simply a trusty music playlist. Either option will send you back into high spirits, helping you to smash the weights and hit a new PB. Challenge yourself this July, sometimes it's the small changes that make the biggest difference!
