Do you find yourself doing the same workout over and over again? Believe me – you’re not alone! It’s human nature to seek routine and familiarity. I can see why. It feels fantastic to be comfortable and confident with your surroundings. But it is important to challenge ourselves mentally and physically and step outside of our comfort zones – in both our fitness endeavors and personal life. While you may not want to, and it may not be easy, I can assure you that challenging yourself this way will strengthen you in the gym and as a person!
Are you wondering how you can change things up? Try something completely new. For training, try doing all your exercises standing on one leg to build a stronger core. You may have to drop weight and take a blow to the ego, but a reality check on your ego can be healthy. Are you still looking for more ideas?
Have you considered:
- Yoga
- Dance
- Powerlifting
- Cross-fit
- Cryotherapy
- Sauna sessions
- Cycling
Well what are you waiting for? Go out there and try it!
Here’s something else for you to consider. When was the last time you changed up your diet and/or supplement program? Nutrition and supplement science are constantly evolving, new suggestions are being proposed, and new products are coming out. Now may be the perfect time for you to change up your diet, or incorporate a new supplement. Have you recently seen the release of NutraBio’s UpSorb? UpSorb is one of my favorite new products and it's affordable! It’s a bioavailability and absorption enhancer formulated to help you get the most from your supplements and meals.
We all can benefit a bit more by pushing ourselves to step out of our comfort zone. Exercise breaks down muscle, and through rest and refueling it is rebuilt even stronger than before. Well take that concept and apply it to your comfort zone in life! I certainly think you will find that you grow a stronger core in your fitness life and a better foundation in your personal life!
