Raise your hand if you’ve ever felt stuck in an exercise rut.
Trust me, you are not alone, I’ve been there before.
It is way too easy to feel trapped in your exercise routine. I mean, it’s hard enough to even get started with a workout regime. And once you find a routine that works, you don’t always want to switch it up.
So you continue to go through the motions. Day after day you find yourself doing the same workout. But at some point, that routine gets boring. You aren’t challenging yourself anymore. Maybe you lose the motivation to stick to your goals.
Our bodies crave exercise, but our muscles also need to be challenged. If you do the same workout every day, you won’t get any stronger. You will find yourself maintaining instead of moving forward.
Let’s look at some ways you can shake up your workout routine and break out of your exercise rut.
But before we go any farther, I want to remind you that this is a process. Don’t feel bad for falling into an exercise rut. We’ve all been there at some point. Feel proud that you’ve been doing something great for your body by exercising. Just know that it’s a good idea (and even fun) to switch up your routine every now and then.
