Getting bored of going to the gym each day and doing the same old routine? It is important to switch up your routine from time to time, to keep your body guessing. And above all, it is important that you have fun!
1. Up The Intensity: Revving your usual pace will help you avoid hitting a plateau. Example...Run for 5 extra minutes each day or alternate high intensity intervals with low to moderate intensity intervals.
2. Hire A Personal Trainer: Concentrate on what you are doing now and let your trainer think of what's next. They will be able to correct your form if needed and can give advise on how to fine tune your nutrition plan. It will also help keep things new and fun.
3. Eat Clean And Drink Water: Your body needs lean proteins, complex carbs, and tons of water to feel energized and repair damaged muscles.
4. Quality Over Quantity: Exercise less but with more effort and better technique. You will burn more calories and see better results with less workouts using correct form over doing more workouts that are done sloppily.
5. Use Mind And Body Training: Really concentrate on the contraction for better results and to create a mind-muscle connection.
6. Work Out At The Best Time For You: Figure out when your energy level is at its highest and schedule your workouts into that time frame.
7. Get A Gym Buddy: You will go more if you have a gym partner relying on you and they are more likely to hold you accountable for your commitments.
8. Concentrate On Breathing: When lifting weights, exhale on the exertion.
9. Use A Heart-Rate Monitor: Gauge how hard you're working and stay within your target zone.
10. Listen To Music: For a boost, play your favorite tunes on your MP3 player during exercise. Music passes the time quickly and also raises your energy level.
