4 Ways to Breathe Life into your Dying Workout
1. Switch Your Workout Style - Lack of variety in a workout quickly leads to boredom. Working out is just like any other aspect of life. If we get bored we quickly lose interest and sleep walk through the workout as a result. It's just like having a job. If you go to work every single day and do the same thing every SINGLE day you quickly lose interest in what's going on. There are so many types of workout styles available. Search on Superset, German Volume, Pyramid, Cable, Dumbbell, Circuit, Straight Set, Total Body Complexes, or Push/Pull and you'll see just what I mean.
2. Increase Weight 10-15% On Each Exercise - One of my favorite ways to kick start a workout is to add 10-15% of my normal resistance to an exercise. If nothing else it gets your attention. All too often we get attached to the amount of weight and reps we're accustomed to doing. 3 things happen here: - Comfort - Lack of Growth - Boredom All of which are terrible for the drive and excitement needed to keep a dynamic workout in tact. Adding more weight also allows you to refocus on what is going on. You are forced to focus and push yourself to get that weight off your chest!
3. Add The Element Of Surprise To Your Music Selection - While the iPod is great for your workout it can also be a curse. Last month I listened to the same 3 play lists for 6 days a week. Needless to say I got bored... really, really, really bored. Mixing up the music is a great way to get you rejuvenated and provide that extra spark. When your music gets style try this: - Set the player to random - Switch musical genres (rap to rock, rock to rap, house to heavy metal, etc) - Find some old music you haven't used in a while Music is a powerful motivator in the gym. Use it to your advantage.
4. Perform Challenging Exercises - Some of the equipment in the gym can get very lonely. The Dip/Pullup stands, hack squat machine, Olympic bars (deadlifts, squats, overhead press), and plyometric boxes (explosive jumping) are all woefully lonely. Befriend them. Crank out some pullups, do a deadlift or 2, stack up some plyometric boxes and perform a set of jumps. These exercises are the most rewarding in the gym. On top of that there is NEVER a long line of people climbing over each other to do pullups. These exercises are the most challenging but they are also the most rewarding.

When you are short of motivation
When the motivational pool runs shallow the excuses not to exercise start to amass and take priority, so what do you do?

1) Look at your journal and re-read the reasons for why you started to work out in the first place. Did you accomplish some of your goals? Do they need to be more realistic?

2) We all go through stressful situations in our life - remember one of the best stress relievers is working out.

3) Sometimes a simple thing like a buying new workout outfit will do wonders.

4) Make friends at the gym. Your gym should be a place where you feel comfortable, a place where you have someone to say hello to - and trust me, your hard work and dedication will pay off. Fellow workout-er's are quick to realize and pay compliments.

5) Find a workout partner that can help keep you motivated. When you may be low in motivation your partner may be high and vice versa. Also you now have an additional commitment to go to the gym. It wouldn't be fair to leave your partner hanging, would it?

6) Take a week off. Sometimes a simple re-charge of the batteries will do wonders! If you do decide to take the week off then do exactly that! Don't let the guilt of not hitting the weights pull you back into the gym early. By the time the week passes your motivational pool will probably be overflowing.

7) Get your hands on a fitness related magazine. I constantly find gallons of motivation by looking at the magazines.

8) You are not alone. We have all been there...burnt out, fed up, tired, hurt, or what ever you want to call it. There are hundreds of obstacles and set backs that lie in the wait. Keep your chin up and stay the course - you will be successful!

9) Find a role model - someone who you may be able to communicate with via e-mail or written correspondence. There are many wonderful athletes out there that fully understand what you want to accomplish and just how difficult it can be.

10) Read 1-9 again!

Lydsporet burde motivere mig, men gør det ikke, og det tror jeg skyldes flere (personlige) ting lige for tiden. Jeg bliver ikke motiveret af de store freakshows. De ligger langt fra min virkelighed og mine mål. (Jeg har intet imod dig Ebbi, interesserer mig bare ikke for prof bodybuilding )

Det jeg bare godt kunne tænke mig at høre lidt om, er hvad folk har oplevet ske både styrke og masse mæssigt ved en længere pause.

Lækker læsning, også især det fra din signatur. Den var fed

Har også på fornemmelsen at lysten kommer hurtigt igen. Har prøvet det før, og grundende til hvorfor man træner, begynder hurtigt at gå rigtigt op for en igen. Lige nu har jeg det bare sådan, at jeg magter bare ikke at gå ned og løfte!
Har også været ualmindelig træt på det sidste pga nogle søvnproblemer, men nu har jeg da fået nogle piller som skulle hjælpe. Så tror også kritisk mangel på søvn gennem længere tid kan være skyld i ingen motivation.
Tror flere af tingene i dit indlæg kan være guld for mig, Ajn3b. Det ser også ud til at jeg starter i nyt center inden længe, det kan måske også gøre en forskel.

Jeg kan ikke mærke mit bryst arbejde specielt meget i bænkpres med dumbbells.
Har overvejet om jeg skal lave flyes først som pre-fatigue. Og hvis jeg gør det er det så fint at køre til failure eller ej? Har ikke kørt særlig meget iso-øvelser til større muskler før og ved ikke i hvor stor grad styrken er svækket bagefter.

Du behøver ikke kunne mærke dine muskler arbejde for rent faktisk at få dem til det.
