Why Do People Find Gyms Boring?
An excuse not to exercise or is there something else?
Perhaps I should have called this article “1001 excuses for not exercising” – I’ve certainly heard them all! But people really do seem to find gyms boring (or even hate them). So is it just an excuse not to exercise; or is there more to it than that? I think so…
You need a strategy
For a lot of people, just getting to the gym is hard enough, so while they’re there it should count. If they’re bored, it could be that they’re just performing exercise routines without really knowing why – there’s no strategy in place (or if there is one it hasn’t been explained properly).
Imagine a school or a workplace with no system, no guidelines and no way of knowing how you’re supposed to achieve results! Sooner rather than later the results become patchy and you give up.
Understand your routines
Clearly explained routines are important not only to keep you motivated and getting results; they are just one vital part of the training process. Your trainer should be by your side every step of the way, monitoring each move carefully to ensure you get the best out of your workout and avoid back pain, strains or other injuries.
Stop wasting time and find a good trainer
How to avoid being bored at the gym? Look for a good trainer, who not only knows what they’re talking about but clearly demonstrates to you why he or she is recommending certain activities and where you’re heading. You will find workouts much more exciting and rewarding.
