by Ally Siege last updated -

Tired of the same old workout plan? Here is how you can make it fun! Fitness is more than just a compulsion or a daily routine that you indulge in; fitness is more or less a lifestyle choice that can truly change your health and your outlook. Today, the wave of fitness has hit most of the world, and no, we’re not complaining!

How To Change Your Workout Plan?

The great thing about fitness is that everyone’s journey is unique, based on their fitness goals, body type, preferences and so on. However, if you end up doing the same mundane routine every time to hit the gym or workout at home, you’re probably going to be less motivated to do it. So, instead of being lazy or procrastinating, you could spice up your workout routine and make it more fun! You can work out with a partner, switch it up by working out indoors & outdoors or try a new activity. Let’s look at some simple but effective tips to do change your workout plan:

If you’re used to working out alone, it can get boring. So, why not find a fellow fitness enthusiast and get them to work out with you? You can formulate a fitness regime together, try out partner exercises, spot each other and experiment with new forms of workouts! There’s a lot you can do with a partner who loves fitness just as much as you do. And, when either of you becomes lazy, you have someone to give you that extra push and keep you motivated. [1] [2]

Exercising Outdoors

Working out indoors isn’t a bad idea, especially if you have a neat home gym set up, but for how long can you possibly workout only indoors? If you’re a lucky one with a nice porch or a spacious backyard, make the most of it! Some of your gym equipment can easily be moved outside for a few days, where you can switch up your work out and breathe in some fresh air while doing so. Alternating between indoor and outdoor every other week is a smart way to stay engaged. [3]

Include Your Pets

Some of us have the best bond and connection with our pets. If you do as well, and you know your pet loves to play and engage in physical activities, why not turn it into a workout for yourself too? Many people even prefer running alongside their pets to get their daily cardio done, and there’s nothing more fun than getting to spend time with your furry friend whilst getting in shape! [4]

Fitness Groups

If you don’t mind trying out new fitness groups in the neighborhood, it’s time that you sign up. Group therapy teamed with a good workout could turn out the be just the switch you needed, at least for a while. This also helps with sharing motivation within the group and learning and/or teaching valuable knowledge with others. Group yoga sessions are very popular because learning in a group can be a very stimulating experience!

Listen to Music

Majority of us workout with a set playlist playing in the background. Yes, you definitely have a preferred genre or type of music you listen to while exercising, but you can always bring in some change and maybe ask your friends or acquaintances to share their playlists with you and check out something new. Music can be very motivating and even stimulates your senses into making you feel more alive and active. [5]

Dance it out

Dance workouts are very popular if that’s something that interests you. Dancers admit that their rehearsals are nothing short of rigorous workout sessions. Hence, there are special programs available, both online and offline, where you can engage in dance workouts and have fun while doing so. A lot of these are designed for beginners, so you don’t have to worry about having two left feet. The idea is to introduce a fun switch to your regular exercise regime.

Learning something new

Today, there are plenty of avenues where you can learn a new fitness form or art. Whether it’s mixed martial arts, an international form of boxing, Zumba or anything else, you can do your research and join a new class. This way, not only are you motivated to continue on your fitness journey, but you’re also learning something you’re entirely new too, and that’s bound to keep you engaged. [6]

Adventure time

Fitness doesn’t always have to involve machines and dumbbells. There are a bunch of other activities that you can also indulge in like trekking, swimming, or even playing sports. It helps if you could gather or get in touch with some like-minded people and create a group, where all of you can come together and share a common activity that would definitely count as fun and exercise at the same time!

Final Thoughts

And voila! With these simple but very much doable tips, you can deal with that boredom you’ve been feeling lately while working out. The main objective of any fitness routine is to keep you motivated, on your feet, and engaged with different types of exercises. Whenever you feel the urge to skip your workout or delay it, remember your fitness goals and do whatever it takes to keep yourself engaged again!
