Do you find it difficult to get motivated for working out? Does exercise feel more like a burden? Is exercising boring? Do you feel as though you’re making excuses for not working out, even though it’s a necessity to remain healthy?

If so, you’re not alone…

We give you permission to not beat yourself up over the way you feel towards exercise…

Why?

Because you’ve probably never been taught to change the way you think about working out and/or your approach…

We understand that you’re busy with everyday life and have very little time to squeeze in daily workouts…

After a hard day’s work, exercising is the last thing that you feel like doing…

Whether at home or at a gym, the feelings are the same.

So, you may be wondering just how you can get the motivation you need to exercise on a regular basis.

If you've been wondering what you can do to make exercise more fun, you'll find some ideas below that just may help to make exercise more fun and a little bit easier.

First things first, you should consider exercising with a friend. You can challenge each other, help each other out, keep each other motivated and on track, make each other laugh, or just make a game out of your exercise programs, and can keep each other safe.

You can also try something different. If you go to the gym each and every day and use the same piece of equipment or use the same piece of equipment at home, you should try mixing things up.

As they say, variety is the spice of life…

You can reverse your routine or just change the order of your exercises.

Try going to a city park that has playground equipment and use the slide, climb on the monkey bars, do pull-ups, hang from your knees, and just let your imagination guide you.

You don't always need to follow a strict routine, just get out there and have fun working your muscles.

By the way, don’t worry about what the people around you think when you are at the park mixing things up, because you are doing this for yourself…

So, stay focused on the outcome by visualizing how great you’re going to feel and look.

Implement an outdoor circuit in the park. There are some parks that have circuit courses set up with a planned course where all you have to do is walk or jog to each station and then follow the instructions.

If there isn't a planned course, then you should do a combination of jogging and walking, picking a distance of a couple of hundred feet. Jog 100 feet then drop and do a couple of push-ups, walk the next 100 feet and then drop to do sit-ups…

Be creative and don’t pigeonhole yourself…

You can also ride a bike around your neighborhood or hike on a hiking trail. Go take a walk in the park or around your neighborhood is also a fantastic way to get some exercise.

Doing yoga in the park or on a beach is also a nice and relaxing way to exercise both your body and your mind.

Playing a competitive sport is also something you can try. A lot of cities have team activities such as softball, volleyball, tennis, soccer, and so on.

These types of activities will not only provide you with good exercise but they will also help you to meet new people as well.

When you exercise, try to picture your muscles getting toned. Research has shown that if you focus all your thoughts on the muscles that you are working on, they will respond better…

We call that the “Muscle To Mind Connection.”

Try to watch them work with each repetition as your muscles contract and relax if you’re weight training.

As you can tell, there are plenty of ways you can make exercise more fun and interesting.

You don't need to follow the same routine day after day, as you can do many other things to get in some exercise.

The more creative you are with your workouts, the more fun you’ll have in the process…

The biggest benefit to using variety during your workouts in a fun way is the consistency that you will develop, which will result in sculpting the body of your dreams.
