When you're working hard at working out, you sometimes can find yourself in a bit of an exercise rut. While a routine may work for you, if you want to stick to it long term, you need to shake things up once in a while. AOL Body gives us some tips for
beating exercise boredom including:
- Head to the outdoors. If you normally walk on a treadmill, take a walk outside instead. Just the change in environment can refresh your workout.
- Find the fun. Join a sports team or engage in other activities that get your heart rate up and are fun at the same time.
- Play with your kids. Kick a soccer ball around, play a game of tag, have a relay race -- your kids will appreciate the quality time and you'll benefit from the activity.
- Give while you get. Join a charity walk or other event. It's a win-win situation.
