Are you stuck in a workout rut? Have you hit a plateau and can’t seem to find a way to take things to the next level? Here are our top 3 ways to get past your fitness slump.
3 Ways to Get Past Your Fitness Slump
Change It Up
Hitting a fitness goal is great, but sometimes we get stuck in the routine that helped us hit that first benchmark, so we stop seeing any more forward movement. It can be easy to get bored with a routine once you are ready to take it to the next level. Try changing up your exercises, varying your reps and rest times, or switching your exercise order.
Meet with a Personal Trainer
If you are ready to make changes to your fitness routine but aren’t sure what exercises you should start adding to your workout, having a personal trainer will be a huge benefit. A trainer can design a routine that will help you get out of your fitness slump and kick things into high gear. If you are stuck in a workout rut, having someone in your corner pushing you forward can be a big help in getting over that next hurdle. A personal trainer will be your built-in accountability partner. They will cheer you on while also giving you the tools you need to take the next step.
Set a New Goal
Creating a new fitness goal can be a huge motivator. Maybe your first objective was weight loss, but now that you’ve hit your goal weight you are ready to start working on muscle building. Was your initial goal to strengthen your core? Set a new goal specifically designed to target either your upper or lower body. According to an article from PositivePsycology.com “setting goals helps trigger new behaviors, helps guide your focus and helps you sustain that momentum in life.” Goals give you something tangible to obtain and spur you on.
