Diversification is the key to fitness.
Let’s have a glance at the time… yes, we’ve been indoors for nearly seven months now. I’m not particularly averse to repetitive duties, but I assume many of you, even those who have effectively established a solid indoor workout routine, are starting to feel quite weary of this situation. When you engage in the same exercise routine in the same space day in and day out for seven months, it’s almost certain that you’ll fall into a rut. The unfortunate news is that I cannot predict when you’ll be able to return to a traditional gym. The fortunate news is that there are small adjustments you can make to add some diversity to your routine.
First, let me ask you: how do you perceive your current workout regimen? Does it seem more like a task than a fulfilling activity? Take a moment to reconsider your priorities. Why do you engage in physical activity? Are you aiming to shed pounds? Keep yourself occupied? Build muscle? If your current motive lacks motivation, seek a new one. Also, if you start feeling bored midway through your workout, consider making it more concise but with greater intensity. Condense, my friend!
How can we introduce some variety? You probably have chosen a specific room in your house as your exercise area. If you have other rooms available, consider relocating your workout space. A change of surroundings can greatly boost your motivation. If your exercise equipment is becoming monotonous, try something new! Experiment with a different machine or add some new weights to change your perspective. Are there certain techniques you struggle with or muscle groups you usually neglect? Challenge yourself! Allocate some time to acquire new exercise skills and expand your fitness in a different direction.
One might argue that the essence of physical fitness is to adapt to challenging circumstances. Well, these circumstances are quite challenging, so instead of sulking, start adjusting!
