Man, working out can be boring.  You start all gung ho about it…I can do this on my own!  And….then you get bored.  And lonely.  For me, that is about 2 weeks in.  I’m not saying you have to join a team.  I’m not saying you can’t work out on your own.  But the support that someone else can give you can be priceless, and mean the difference between continuing on your path and giving it up (again and again for some…may or may not be referring to myself….)

How do you get this?

1.  Yes, join that team!  If that is what you thrive on, what you enjoy-the group-then realize that you draw energy that and find a group to join!  This can be a class as well-you get the point
2.  Schedule to workout with a buddy.  This keeps you accountable, it keeps you talking, it is fun!  One key word here is schedule-make it, keep it.
3.   If you are a solo goal seeker-find support online!  My online accountability is awesome.  It is what keeps me going.  I support and allow myself to be supported!
4.   Get a coach!  One that is present physically, or one who will support you remotely!

Another thing to prevent boredom is to switch it up.  And, if you read my post about injury, this can help prevent that as well!!  But, you have to have a plan!  When you are coached, the coach has a workout planned out.  Sometimes a week’s worth.  Whether it be running/walking/jogging, throwing in 10 jumping jacks every 5 min, 10 squats at every corner, whatever-come up with a plan before you start.  Otherwise-boooooring.  So that is for each workout, but also for each week.  That way, nothing is left to chance-like the chance you will talk yourself out of doing it, lol!

Not that creative?  There are programs out there that take the thinking out of it-you just press play.  There is accountability online.  You just have to reach out and then lean in.

Now go!  This is a perfect time in this crazy time.  Stay healthy!
