Change Your Routines, Change Your Life *
For the first time in many years I was becoming unmotivated with my workout routine. I started blaming it on the weather, my work, my ADHD; everything but the real source.
It was starting to become a huge pressure. I had this strong belief if I didn’t do my set routine, with set moves, in a set amount of time, then it wasn’t really a workout.
Now mind you, when I say set routine, I am talking about a rather large range of excercises. Unfortunately, the routine had been repeated too many times. It was becoming redundant and boring.
Recently, while at the gym, one of the trainers told me the best workouts are the ones that are different all the time. This variety causes muscle confusion that literally surprises your body each time. This makes the workouts even harder, burns more calories and builds more muscle.. This was a real awakening for me. It just simply let me know variety really is a good thing.
I also recently noticed the moment I changed the rug in my office, along with giving myself permission to change my exercise routine, my internal drive and energy came back stronger.
I really didn’t realize it was something I always told others to do and yet I wasn’t doing it myself. Now I know what it means to teach others what we ourselves need to know. I get it!!!
Have a great day.
