As I mentioned previously in my New Year, New Me post, one of my goals is to develop a lifestyle change. I want working out to become as routine as showering and brushing my teeth. I want to workout on vacations and not look at it as a task or chore. January was a trial and error month. I tried to figure out what schedule works best for me and what type of exercises I enjoy doing. Have I fallen in love with the gym? No. But I’m also not to the point where I’m feeling uninspired and sick of it.
The number one thing I learned this past month is to change it up. If I went into the gym every day and did the same routine, I would become bored fast. One day I will do my cardio in the gym and lift weights then I might run outside the next day then I might do yoga the following day. Switching it up keeps things interesting. It just depends on my mood. If you find yourself not wanting to be in the gym, then switch it up and find something you like doing. The gym isn’t the only way to workout.
I also came up with workout essentials that make my workout easier. Figure out the struggles and issues you have while working out and find solutions or products to eliminate them. These are my 6 Gym Essentials To Help With Working Out.
