42-15870257Are you tired of the same old fitness regime? Well here’s a little thought for a change. Here are 10 Ways To Switch Up Your Training Program

1. Train with a buddy.  An extra person always helps increase motivation or try challenging each other to a fitness competition.

2.Explore fitness materials such as health magazines.  For example, look at Flex, Oxygen and Men’s Fitness and incorporate the different tips they prescribe into your exercise schedule.

3.Increase your workouts.  For example, instead of doing 2 sets at 8 reps try 3 sets at 10 to 15 reps.

4.If your workout is boring, spice it up! Change your ipod music or re-evaluate your goals.

5.Change the setting of your workouts.  Utilize the parks with fields or paved paths,try a water workout, gym or your home.

6.Train smarter, not harder. Do your research and challenge yourself to understand the makeup of your body’s structure and make realistic goals. don’t waste your time trying to be something your body is not. 

7.Take a class. For example, kickboxing, aerobics, dance etc. By taking a class you will discover new and improved ways for training your body. This may be the very change your body needs.

8.Increase or shorten your workouts. By increasing your workouts, it challenges your endurance and by shortening your workouts it increases the intensity level to achieve maximal results in a shorter amount of time.

9.Create a workout log. This journal will help you monitor your progress. Men can use the log to record sets and weight while women can use it to monitor progress or flexibility during workout routines. It is a great tool for improvement!

10. Hire a Fitness Professional. When searching for a Certified Personal Trainer, remember that he or she should look the part and also understand the structure of body mechanics.
