Here’s an example of a routine I put together to switch up my normal workout:
HIIT & ABS

1) 5 min warm-up on treadmill
2) 5 min incline intervals
3) Abs Routine:
20 Reverse Crunches on bench holding 10lb weight in between feet
20 Reverse Crunches on bench w/out weight
20 Stability ball pike roll outs
20 weighted crunches w/ 25 lb weight plate
20 leg raises w/ reverse crunch up @ top
3 sets-facing front, left side, right side of 15 weighted rope crunches
4) Repeat Steps 2 & 3 three times
5) Warm down with 5 minutes treadmill walking and stretching
So next time you feel like you’re getting in a rut and just going through the motions rather than pushing and challenging yourself, try something new: boot-camps, take your workout outside or try making up your own workout. There's no right or wrong workout, each person is at a different point in their fitness journey. Focus on challenging YOURSELF and take back your motivation!!
ohh yes, that happens with me sometimes especially with cardio. I try to switch up my cardio type (swimming, running, stairmaster, etc) whenever I can to keep it interesting. Sometimes I just deal with it being boring and know it's good for me, though :-p
ReplyDeleteGreat plan of action switching up the cardio! your body will constantly be challenged, doing the same type over and over again can limit progress.
