Make Your Exercise Routines Less Routine
Your exercise routine is so, well, routine! GenuLines has a few ideas on making it less so.
And in the process making it less likely that you’ll abandon it.
Make Your Exercise Routines Less Routine
When you do the same routines with exercise, you get fewer benefits from it after a while. Your muscles get used to the routine.
And they’ll reach plateaus that are difficult to break through.
By mixing up your routines, your muscles will have new plateaus to reach and will develop faster. This is why trainers vary their clients’ exercises.
They switch up the sets of routines to keep the muscles from not getting the benefits from new exercises. Then, over time, they bring back the previous sets to once again break up the routine.
Routine exercise is still better than no exercise at all. Without exercise, your muscles will start to break down and become out of shape.
But, once you start changing your routines, your muscles will develop quicker.
Also, your mindset about exercise will stay fresh. That’s one of the best ways to keep going with it.
Anticipation
But, it doesn’t last forever. In fact, it should be a reminder that those muscles haven’t been getting the proper exercises.
Most people break their exercises into two major categories, cardio, and weight training. You can do cardio exercises more often than weight training. In fact, you can do cardio every day.
But work the weights every other day or every two days. The rest period gives the muscles time to rebuild.
Even though you can do cardio training every day, it is still beneficial to break up the exercises. You can do the same exercise for a few weeks and then change to something different.
Or, you can alternate between two or more cardio exercises. If you use a treadmill one day, use a cycle the next.
If you jog one day, then swim on the next day, etc. Shaking up your exercise routines will give your body the most benefits.
And you increase your chances of sticking with exercising. You’ll be happier as well as healthier because of it.

Stop Relying Too Much on Others
If you have difficulty trusting yourself, you may be too dependent on others. The situation can grow and you become dependent on more and more people.
GenuLines knows that can present problems when called upon to handle situations on your own, so read for some helpful ideas.
Stop Relying Too Much on Others
Have you ever let someone else take over a part of your job? You may feel relief when this happens.
But you could be setting yourself up for future failure. The reason this happens is that you didn’t trust that you could do the job yourself.
In the above scenario, you’re taking on something outside of your comfort zone. It may be that your boss wants to test how you will handle a new situation.
He or she gives you an assignment knowing that you have never dealt with it before.
It’s natural to ask others for help when you find yourself in unfamiliar territory. There’s nothing wrong with doing this.
But there’s little growth in letting others solve problems for you. You won’t develop the self-trust for handling new situations.
And your manager will see that you, for the most part, passed the assignment to someone else.
Positivity helps
Face your new challenges with positivity. Be willing to make an attempt even if you make mistakes.
The mistakes are the tools for you to learn. When you do make those mistakes, ask what you did wrong.
Over time, those mistakes will get less and less, and you’ll begin to trust that you can handle the situations.
There’s a subtle result of trying something new. You’ll prove that you can handle new tasks and develop new skills.
That’s enlightening and it’s a big factor in developing trust in yourself.
Every skill you are now good at and find easy you probably struggled with at the start. If you keep this in mind, you will give yourself over to trusting that you can handle anything that comes your way.
You’ll need less reliance on others. But you still should ask questions when you are unsure about something.
That’s another part of learning.
Some people may give you a hard time because it’s inconvenient. But, you’ll find most people want to help you succeed.
It helps them when you get up to speed with new skills.
