Training Workouts and Boredom

When martial artists, or any person involved in physical training spends a certain time period using the same workout routine, boredom will soon develop. This boredom can involve the person being mentally bored of doing the same repetitive workout. Training the same exercises, at the same time, on the same days for instance can create boredom that can sometimes be so off putting that the person may even skip workouts. There is also the physical boredom that develops in your muscles. When training the biceps for example, if preacher curls are the only exercise used, with the same weight, for the same amount of reps and sets, then the muscle will eventually get used to the training and will stop growing and developing. The key is to change your workout every now and then. Train on different days at different times during the day, concentrate more on weights sometimes and then change to concentrate on cardio. Do heavy weights for a period, then train light weights explosively. For a week or two solely focus on martial arts without any further training, then do nothing for a week or so. These are just a few suggestions from the top of my head. Sit down from time to time and plan different workouts which suit your personal requirements that will also help fight boredom when training. My advice is to write down different workouts as they can be used again. Good luck!
