How to Stay Fit When You Get Bored
You started out strong.
You worked out every day, hitting the gym come hell or high water. You found a plan online and followed it to a T. Your clothes started fitting better, everyone at work commented on how much energy you had and your partner kept giving you those “looks.”
And then you got bored.
That online program? Well, you noticed it turned into the same thing every week. And the diet? Grilled chicken and broccoli get a little old after a while.
So what should you do? How do you keep your fitness up when it gets boring?
Phone a Friend
Fitness is always more fun with friends, so ask your bestie to join you for a class! You’ll be doing you BOTH a favor. Especially in the cold winter months when it’s easier to hibernate than get out there and socialize, the gym can be your means of connecting with other people. (This is where One Shot Wellness comes into play!!!)
Health is about more than exercise. We need human connection, so hit two birds with one stone!
Mix It Up
Always been a runner but getting tired of the same old scenery? Try mixing in some strength training!
Been pumping iron since Arnold was a governor? Get out there and use your muscles to move your body!
Get out on the local hiking trails, rent a bike over at the Reforestation Camp and get outdoors to tackle the trail or see if some buddies want to play a game of pickleball this weekend. (Ps—you should google how the name Pickleball was originated. I just learned this!)
If your gym routine is feeling stale, some novelty can be just the trick you need to help you enjoy your fitness again. The routine you’re bored with now was fresh and new at one point; it’s time to find that fresh feeling again. Ask one of our Coaches for a Goal Review session so they can get you some new accessory work or a game plan!
The same goes for your nutrition. If you’re tired of the same old healthy recipes, try choosing a few new ones to prep this week! We’ve got a ton of easy, tasty options coming up with our One Shot Wellness Experience! (Sign up TODAY!)
Find a Coach
Accountability is the name of the game for long-term health, and working with a coach can help prevent stagnation.
A good coach will help keep you on track while providing the novelty you need to keep boredom at bay. Whether that means novelty in your workouts or your nutrition plan, a coach can help you set realistic goals and keep you focused on them when motivation wanes.
THE ONE SHOT WELLNESS EXPERIENCE is coming up! Now is the time to get ahead of the panic before summer. Let’s start focusing on the building blocks so that when springtime comes, we can focus on the more fun stuff….like getting buff and working on our abs.
