Working out regularly is not easy, and there can be many reasons to that.
One of the reasons that people face often is boredom.
However every problem has its solution and here are few tips that will help you fight a lack of enthusiasm, make working out more fun and avoid boredom in your trainings.
Setting up SMART goals
Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Time based.
Whenever you start working out, setting up a goal that matches these rules is a must.
It will not only make training easier but also knowing why you are doing it is a priceless motivation that will help you stay stimulated all along the journey.
Whenever your motivation is getting low, remember why you started and that everything you are doing now are small steps toward your goal!
When your goal is reached, set a new one and create a programation that will help you realise it.
Implement progressive overload
This is one of the first rules to follow if you want to be sure to have results.
There are different ways to include progressive overload into your sessions.
You can change the resting time, increase your weights, reps and even more.
Making each session more challenging than the previous one will insure you progress and help you keep your motivation high as every session will be slightly different than the previous one.

Changing the exercises you use
In order to improve it is good to practice exercises untill a physical adaptation is created within your body to respond the stress that has been put on it.
However, changing exercises and patterns of movements makes you stimulate new fibres and create new adaptations.
Changing exercises is a good way to make your workout different and keep them as efficient if they are programed smartly.
