5 Top Tips to Make Your Workout More Fun
Are you board with your workouts… feeling like your cardio is getting 
monotonous? Well, here are a few tips to spice it up and keep you going…
1. Break it up. If you typically do 60 minutes of cardio, break it up into 20 
minute segments. Start with 20 minutes on the treadmill, then 20 minutes on 
the elliptical, then the last 20 minutes on a bike. It doesn’t necessarily 
have to be in that order either… Mix it up! Also, when you do your cardio, 
mix it up by getting your heart rate really high, then bring it down, then 
back up again. This is interval training and burns LOTS of calories!
2. Bring your ipod! Nothing more motivating than some of your favorite, up 
beat music. Make sure it’s music that will get you moving, inspiring, and 
gives a positive message! Another great way to use your time is to get books 
on tape that you can listen to while you’re working out!! Why not exercise 
you body and mind at the same time? In my weight management program I include 
audios for my clients to listen to for inspiration and added information. 
When you listen to this stuff during your workout, you use “net”… No 
Extra Time. This also helps the time go by sooo much faster.
3. Get a partner. You can inspire each other and push each other more than 
you’d do on your own. Just be sure you don’t get a partner that you will 
spend more time talking to than working out!! This is why having a personal 
trainer comes in very handy. They will push you more than you’d do on you 
own, and you know your getting the best and safest workout.
4. Change of scenery. You can do the same exact thing, but in a different 
setting and if will seem and feel totally different. Are you doing push ups 
and crunches in your living room? Take it outside… it’s so beautiful this 
time of year, take advantage of it!! Besides, if you are in a different 
place, chances are you might add a few new things depending on what’s 
available to you. If you find yourself in a park, check out the “monkey 
bars”…hmmm, what could you do with those???  I have some ideas…
5. Do something different. Take a new class or join a team. Sign up for a 
tennis class, or try a different class at your gym like Zumba, or anything 
you haven’t tried yet. So what if you feel awkward, we all do at first, but 
once you get past that initial uncomfortability, you may really enjoy 
yourself!
