Do you get Bored with Working out by yourself or at the Gym?
Look back for a moment. When you or a friend played school sports and had weight training in the off season, each day of the week was designated to specific muscle groups. For example, Monday was “leg day”, Tuesday was “arm day”, so on and so forth. When this happens, people might get into a routine, but it’s not a very fun one. You end up knowing what is coming and feeling turned off by the very idea that you have to do it all over again. Every Monday you do the same leg workouts on the machines – 3 sets of 10, and call it a day. Perhaps instead of falling into a routine with the same workouts all the time, adding variety would make things more interesting and keep people coming back to the gym. (Hint: Try an energetic plant based trainer like me who doesn’t let you get bored with working out!)
Do you get bored at the gym after short periods of time? Let’s explore how to make it interesting!
Variety is key to any program, to prevent getting bored with working out. Changing things up helps with 3 main things: endurance, continuity, and results!
1. Endurance – if you change up your routine, you will be able to work various muscles in your body . If you exhaust one muscle and that is the only muscle being trained for the day, you will run out of steam… fast.
2. Continuity – change things up to keep them interesting. The less bored you get, the less likely you will quit!
3. Results – Let’s put two and two together. If your workouts last longer while working multiple muscles in each workout AND you stick to a workout program because it is fun and exciting… you will absolutely reach your goals faster.
Truth be told, there is not one exercise program that is right for everyone. Take a look at your goals. Are you trying to lose weight? Do you want to get buff? Do you need to get stronger? Whatever body transformation you are working on, there are key parameters to your training that should be considered. If you allow a fitness professional to put together a proper program design that will work for you, variety could be a key component of your workouts.
