Battle Exercise Boredom


Even the most dedicated exerciser can get bored with their workout routine. For many of us, exercise is a release that needs to be both fun and rewarding. When the fun wears out, it may be hard to keep working towards those rewards.

In order to stay in shape and stay healthy, try these tips to help fight back against exercise boredom:
1. Instead of taking a step aerobics or yoga class, try a circuit training class or kickboxing.
2. Try free weight exercises instead of machines.
3. Exercise with a friend.
4. Set a detailed goal like walking in a 5K one month from now, or running your first race.
5. Try a new activity all together, outside of the gym like ice skating, or a racquet sport like tennis or racquetball.
