After some time of working out, you may find yourself getting a little bored. This is because you are stuck in a repetitive rut. HAVE NO FEAR!! I have the answer that I believe will most definitely help you!!!
SET GOALS!!!
Now that you have conditioned your mind to the appropriate tools needed for a physically healthy lifestyle, you need to focus on motivation! When I say Goals, I mean fun goals! Things you can EXCITE yourself to work for!!
Let me give you an example...
If you are becoming excessively bored with cardio, try to give yourself something specific to train for. Check out events like The Harvest Moon Run on Survivor Sudan's blog site. The Harvest Moon Run is a perfect example of something that can motivate you to work for something you really believe in.
Once you have picked an event, start doing research on the specific training regimen you will need to follow. You can then plan your workouts accordingly. If there comes a time during your training where you start to lose sight of what you are training for, simply re-visit the site for the event you have chosen. Periodic reminders of what you are fighting for will definitely spark your flame!
If you find you need a constant reminder of your worthy cause, you can print a picture of the event or its purpose. After printing your inspirational picture, carry it with you to the gym, or tape it to your treadmill! This will surely seal the deal!
Have fun with your workouts!! AND REMEMBER...
Give yourself plenty of time to properly train for each event!!!
