Sometimes working out isn’t fun. In fact, for some of us, working out is never fun but we want so badly to feel the same longing burn for a workout that we feel for chocolate or salty potato chips. Whether you dread the first steps towards working out regularly or you have found yourself in a rut of boredom, try these tips for enjoying your workout and actually looking forward to a good sweat session.
Find a workout buddy. Sure, you’ve probably heard this tip a million times, and it just isn’t the ticket for you. But having a support system that goes along with you every step of the way is a great way to be accountable for your workout. It could be that your very best friend is even worse than you when it comes to self-discipline and on the day that you complain about being too tired, she jumps on the opportunity and fully supports your decision to skip today… and tomorrow and the next day.
Get someone who you know will give you a swift kick in the bum and not let you skip. Not everyone has what it takes to be the workout buddy. Be selective and then charge head-on together.
Try something new. You’ve tried yoga. You’ve tried kickboxing. You’ve tried spinning. But in the end, you’re that person with her face on the handlebars, trudging along on your imaginary bike ride while everyone cycles like mad people around you.
Okay, so maybe those classes aren’t for you. But what about hula hooping, pole dancing, dodgeball or swimming? Do your research and find those unique classes that make working out a learning experience where you are always looking forward to what you will learn that night in class.
Maybe your favorite workout is an activity from the archives of your childhood that didn’t seem like a workout when you were eight years old but now it makes your lungs and muscles burn. Try everything! Eventually you’ll find your niche and motivation will be abundant.
