Are you looking for fun exercise ideas to reinvent your workout routine?
Do you want to get healthy and exercise but find yourself getting bored with your usual workout routine?
I totally get it. Sometimes, having variety in your routine and changing it up is the key to staying motivated, keeping yourself accountable, and having fun.
3 reasons why we fall into workout ruts:
- There wasn’t a workout plan before heading to the gym
- The workouts aren’t progressing, which means you’re stagnant and not improving
- You’ve been doing the same exercises over and over
So I thought, well, if I fall into workout ruts all the time, other people must as well.
My Spanish-tapas-variety-loving, jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none soul needed to create a list of exercise ideas to help you brainstorm your health and fitness goals.
Here’s a list of ninety-two exercise ideas to help keep your workouts fun, engaging, and exciting!
