A workout that will never get boring!

A workout that will never get boring!

Don't do the same exercises week after week. Reduce your chances of getting bored while exercising - and improve your performance with these six strategies.

1. Change the order of movements. At the same time, maintain alternating exercises for the upper and lower body.

2. Change the speed of your reps.

3. Alternate days. Alternate days with heavier (1 to 2 kg) and lighter (3 or more kg) dumbbells.

4. Change the time. On one day, perform each exercise for 30 seconds, on another day - 2 minutes.

5. Combine two exercises into one. For example, perform a squat with an overhead press or a reverse lunge with a biceps curl. This is great for a more intense workout or if you're really short on time.

6. Split up your workouts. Concentrate only on your upper torso two days a week; the other two days a week - only on the lower level.
