What to do if the gym and running are tired

In the end, everything gets boring. Running and gym as well. I figured out what to do in this case.

I think that many, if not all, face this problem. At some point, I get bored of doing the same thing - in my case, it's the gym and running - and I want something new. Not excluding the fact that I just need to change activities for a short while in order to return to old activities with renewed vigor, I decided to choose a sport that meets all my preferences.

I like to train without a coach, without a group of people and I want to train when it is convenient for me, and not when the section starts. Given these requirements, the choice was not so great.

I decided to try to practice with the help of special applications, which have already been reviewed. The choice fell on the 12 Minute Athlete workout method, a site that offers 12-minute workouts with and without equipment. I practice using their iPhone app.

This type of training has its advantages:

Diversity. When you get bored with a sport, you can just score, or you can try something new to relax and get back on track.
No need to waste time on the road. Even though the gym and stadium are a 10-minute walk from my house, not everyone is as lucky. You can do exercise complexes without leaving your home.
Good load. I've been in the gym and running for a long time, but the 12 Miunte Athlete workouts still managed to surprise my muscles. Perhaps you need to constantly try different types of loads to keep yourself in shape.
You can study in between work. If you're a freelancer or can afford to exercise during your break from work, why not? But be prepared to sweat a lot and your colleagues may not like it.:)

However, app workouts have one big drawback. Most likely, you will train at home, and it is very, very difficult to force yourself to do sports at home. There are not so many ways out: either overpower yourself and understand that you are not a weak-willed rag, or go out to study on the street or in the stadium.

Despite the fact that such complexes are limited in time (12, 16 minutes), no one bothers you to go through the complex several times in order to work out longer. I do a 16 minute and then a 12 minute set, which adds up to half an hour of training. Not much, but enough to keep you fit.

Another advantage of this type of workout is the variety of training programs. If you don't like the proposed program, you just need to shake the device (in the case of the 12 Minute Athlete) so that it suggests a new training program.

This alternative is not a panacea. However, having such an application with training complexes at hand is very, very cool. Firstly, if you want variety, as I do, or if you simply don't have time to do a full workout. Hope this technique helps you add a little variety to your workout!

The applications shown are just an example. If you use others, please tell us about them!
