Are your workouts starting to get boring? Don’t quit just yet! Here are three things you can do to make training exciting again.
Tip #1: Mix Things Up
One of the easiest ways to get out of a workout rut is to explore other ways of training. Instead of always lifting heavy weights, for instance, maybe try doing a Martial Art or FLEXfit? Instead of doing straight sets, try supersets or circuits.
The idea is not to replace your main training program, but to simply spice things up by doing something different from time to time.

Tip #2: Take a Break
Another way to get out of a workout rut is to just take a break from going to the gym—which you should be doing anyway if you’re always training at high intensities. It’s a great way to give your body and mind time to properly recover from the constant strain they’re subjected to.
Here’s a simple schedule you can follow:
- Go all-out for four weeks
- Take a week off
- Repeat
Don’t worry. You won’t lose your gains during these times off. It takes about three weeks for that to happen—and even when it does, the changes are not that significant, so you can get everything back quickly.
Tip #3: Update Your Workout Playlist
The third and final way to get out of a workout rut is to update your gym playlist. A brand new soundtrack should not only make training exciting again, but also help you get more out of each session, thanks to music’s positive effect on physical performance.
