Being stuck in a rut, can happen to anyone. I’ve been there too…..
Have you considered intervals? Intervals can be a way to spice up your workouts to get you motivated and get you in shape. It’s a good way to burn calories, increase endurance and strengthen your heart.
Men and women can vary their workouts with intervals and you don’t have to be a runner to do this. Weight Lifting or Strength Training is another way. By making use of intervals, you are challenging your body and mind to push harder. Workouts will become easier until you up the ante on your goals.
One way I found myself running faster was by using intervals. I would run, then walk a little, than run more and faster. Eventually, I found myself building speed.
Work out or run with a friend, or change scenery while running are other ways to make fitness fun. Fitness does not have to be boring. If you are a runner, consider getting involved in local 5k and 10k races. That will get you going.
Ok, if you are thinking “Tim, I’m not into running!” Well, whether it be weight lifting, yoga, aerobics, whatever, how about joining a local gym. You can meet people, make friends etc. I was a member of a local gym for 9 years and found it to be rewarding.
Think of Fitness as Fun Intense Times Nurturing Energy Smashing Stress. Oh, yeah, some would argue this. But, you get the point. It’s a good way to make sense if Fitness.
