Complacency and Bordem

Workout was quick today. Never a pleasant thing. Perhaps workouts should not be pleasant. Getting too comfortable with any routine means you should stir the pot a little. I don't mean changing something that is working for you. What I do mean is that if your are feeling comfortable with the workout perhaps you are getting complacent. Changing it up once in a while is a fantastic way to recharge the batteries.

Here are a few ideas: Do your workout as a circuit with little or no rest. Lift more weight than you are accustomed to. If you have been using kettlebells for a few months, perhaps you can go to a gym and do DL, BP and PU for a week or two for a change of scenery. The possibilities are endless.

I tend to stir it up a little one or two days every week because I get bored easy. One day I might work on TGU, windmills and pistols. Another day I might do something very intense like manmakers at the track or hit the rowing machine in the gym. While these two days are random, I still keep all other workouts within the ETK guidelines provided by Pavel.

This works for me. I keep getting stronger, improving endurance, increasing flexibility and losing body fat. If you want more information or need help finding what works for you, contact me.
