switch up
People need to change their workouts for two basic reasons:
to prevent boredom
Keep performance, training and weight loss from stagnation
Dean added: “Repetition can be a plus when you’re working out, but doing the same exercise over and over can be exhausting.
“After a while, if you feel bored with your workout, don’t be afraid to change things up.”
He revealed that while it might be scary for people to do this, it is far more beneficial in the long run.
‘If you find exercise boring, it may be a sign that it’s too easy for you, which in itself is a sign that your fitness level is improving.’
buddy up
If you’re not comfortable doing it alone, Dean suggested bringing a friend along to make the workout more enjoyable.
“Whether you’re looking to gossip on the treadmill or find each other at the barbell, bringing a friend to work out can add more fun to your routine,” he said.
“Friends not only bring us fun, but they also provide support and accountability.
“On those days when you’re having a hard time motivating yourself or struggling to get things done, your friends can help you keep moving toward your weight loss goals.”
join class
Classes are also a great opportunity to socialize and make working out easy and fun.
It can give people the chance to spend time with like-minded people while losing weight.
