Spring Clean the Workout






It might just be me, but I love spring cleaning.  It feels so good to have everything fresh and tidy!  This is a good time to spring clean our workout routines, too.  Here are a couple of questions to ask to help with that process:

Is what I’m doing working?  The answer to that question, of course, depends on your goals.  If, for example, you discover that you are not, in fact, getting stronger with your current weight training program, it’s time for a change.  Or if you discover that the workouts are great, but you’re eating less fabulous foods, it might be time to examine the connection between the gym and the kitchen.

 

Am I bored?  Both brains and bodies get bored.  If you don’t even need to wake up entirely to do the workout, chances are you are bored and could use a fresh take.  If a workout that used to give you the progress you wanted has stopped, it might be that your body is ready for a new challenge.

 

Can I please go outside now?  It’s warmer and less likely to storm on us, so this is a good time to take the workout into the fresh air.

 

Go play.
