Enjoying your Workouts!

Enjoying your Workouts!

Well I was thinking about this a bit... As time goes on many people eventually get bored with there routines and stop. Here are a few tips that I though might help me.

• Audio Books
  This is my personal favorite, I love to listen to books while I workout. Sometimes I’m so into the book that I don’t want to stop working out because I want to see what happens in the book. These days there are books on just about every topic so it’s easy to find something you like!
  
• Music
  Music can literally move you. Make sure to pick music you like to listen to but make sure it has a fast beat to it, something you like to dance to! For myself I have about 20 playlists setup, each about 30 +/- a minute or two. There is lots of variation in the music so I will listen to what moves me on that day. My playlists range from Techno to Hard Rock, Reggae to punk. I like it all, just depending on my mood!
  
• Workout Variation
  This is a great way to make your routines not get boring. Change them often. When I say change them, what I mean is you don’t always have to do the same exercise to get the same workout. Example: If you want to work the chest, you could do push-ups, dumbbell flies, normal bench press, incline presses, or decline presses.
  
• TV
  Get a TV in your workout area. It may help you enjoy the time you spend working out. I used to run on a tread mill and watch tapes of my favorite sitcom.
  
• Anything you can do to make it interesting!
  If there is anything you can do to make your workout interesting do it. If you like baseball, join a team near you. Any sport might give you jus that little push to workout harder. Maybe even bowling or golf. Heck you might even get a little off the main line sports and choose something like boxing or a martial art! If it keeps you interested and gives you a reason to work out DO IT!
