What To Do When You’re Bored With Your Workouts
Today I'm back with short solo episode about how incredibly bored I am with my workouts lately. You too? Let's talk about it.
On this episode we talk about:
- How strength training is sometimes just boring and repetitive.
- Asking why you ”don't wanna” and working around the arbitrary rules keeping you stuck.
- Classes–they can be both awesome and annoying all at once.
- Trying new things, mixing up your routine, and learning new skills to spice things up.
- How YOU are the common denominator in every kind of workout you do–AKA program hopping isn't always the answer.
- Why I love doing short kettlebell complexes outside in the summer.
- Adding in movement snacks to your day while you're doing other things.
- Why seasonal activities absolutely ”count” as a workout. (Yes, especially yard work.)
- Why it's ok to split up a longer workout into smaller chunks, even if you're following a program.
- Normalizing doing it anyway, even when you don't feel like it–in the same way we do all sorts of other boring shit in our lives every day.
- All-or-nothing mindset and the fact that sometimes it's ok to do nothing.
- What your lack of interest in working out could be telling you.
- So many other good things!
