Beat Boredom and Stay Motivated

Sometimes working out to get in shape or stay healthy just isn’t enough motivation in itself. If staying motivated to exercise is difficult for you, try new activities to beat boredom. When you are getting in shape with a group or for sport it may be easier to stay motivated. Begin with activities you enjoy or think you would like to try.
  1. Join a running or walking club or start your own group with a few friends
  2. Run for a cause. Get prepared for a 5k, 10k, or half marathon
  3. Ask friends or co-workers about adult softball or soccer leagues and join a team
  4. Find a local hiking club to join
  5. Contact your local parks and recreation department to find a basketball or flag football league
  6. Join a triathlon club or train for one with a few friends
  7. Get out of the gym and join an outdoor boot camp class
  8. Run stadium stairs at a local track with friends after work. Add push ups, lunges, and leg lifts for resistance exercise.
