Shake up a stale workout

workouts for their clients and they can walk you through some of the offerings . So whether it ’ s barre classes that make you feel like a prima ballerina or renegade rowing to emulate a crew team , new exercises can help to banish boredom .

Eating less and moving more are the hallmarks of many fitness regimens , especially those designed for people who want to lose weight . Maintaining a healthy weight can help reduce risk factors for many illnesses , making weight loss a worthy goal for those who can afford to shed a few pounds .

Cut down on workout time
It ’ s easy to lose interest in a lengthy workout . High-intensity workouts can streamline exercise to 30 minutes or less and produce the same results as longer , less intense regimens . High intensity interval training , or HIIT , is a popular regimen that pairs bursts of maximum-output moves with short recoveries to streamline efforts .
Bring a friend along
A buddy to exercise alongside can make a regimen fun even if you ’ ve done the same things over and over . Plus , a healthy dose of lighthearted competition may motivate you to keep going .
Change small components
Apart from preventing boredom , changes to a routine also benefit your body . If exercise regimens are never altered , and you keep doing the same number of reps and sets , your body can adapt to these workouts and make it difficult to break plateaus . Lack of variation also may decrease focus , which can make it hard to achieve your fitness goals . A consultation with a personal trainer can help you adapt your routine or find an entirely new one .
Altering a workout regimen from time to time can help people overcome stale routines .
