Getting out of a workout rut


We've all been there... dragged your butt to the gym for the fourth day in a row and staring at that infernal treadmill with burning hatred in your eyes.

I often get in a rut of going to gym and doing the same workout day after day without any real enthusiasm. Last week I had the flu and couldn't go to gym for a whole week. When I finally got back into it, I had a renewed excitement for my workout routine. I could push myself harder because my body had had time to fully recover.

I'm not saying ditch the gym and stuff your face on the couch, I'm saying mix up your routine and let yourself recover. Take a long walk, go swimming, or go to a stretching class on your rest days.
