EXERCISE BOREDOM ALERT!!!

It is very easy to start to become bored with exercise. The key to stop that from happening is to vary your routine. Don’t continue to do the same thing day in and day out!

For example, if you only exercise 3 days a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday): Monday – Walk 2 miles; Wednesday – Swimming
Friday – Biking. The following week, change them up, or add other exercises.

If you join a fitness center or the YMCA, you can easily vary your routine each time you visit…treadmills, elliptical machines, weights, rowing machines, stationary bikes, swimming pool, aerobics classes, jazzercise, etc. Use them in random order each time.

You also may want to bring along some music. Listening to some of your favorite music can help make the time go by quicker.

Another tip: bring a friend with you! Not only does it give you someone to be accountable to, but it’s someone to talk to while you are work out!

Speaking of friends, why not create an Exercise Club with your friends and neighbors? Go to the fitness center together!

The point is – if you find yourself making excuses to not exercise, you are setting yourself up to fail in your Journey. Don’t let that happen.
