Work with friends or group
If you find your self bored after a while of working out alone, then you can easily make your routine enjoyable by asking a friend to accompany you, or joining group fitness classes. Both will keep you on your toes, as you won’t want to be the one who is left behind. However, choose your buddy carefully, one who is enthusiastic and energetic. If you are unable to find a partner, then group workouts may be your best bet. Make sure that you search for the best option and find a gym or a class which suits your schedule. -

Make a commitment
Exercises can be boring without a clear picture, or goals. In order to get the desired results, you need to commit yourself wholeheartedly. This can only be done if you make a commitment to yourself that you are going to work out regardless of any external factors that may become hurdles. 100% dedication will ensure that you are never bored of your routine, especially if you are working on your own. -

Remain positive
Often you are preoccupied with your work, which makes it harder for you to spare time for your daily workout. However, it is important that you don’t drag it too much, and focus on the positives that come with having a healthy routine.
Most people think of a perfect scenario to exercise - going to gym, having an instructor etc - which ultimately leads to de-motivation.
Exercise is a lifelong process and must be weaved into your lifestyle. Going for a walk after every meal, or doing a jog every now and then is better than sitting on the couch. Just put on your running shoes, and with time, you will be able to reap the benefits. -

Play
If the idea of lifting plates scares you, the best alternate is to find a sport of your liking. Be it basketball, soccer, tennis, baseball or any other, just recall the good old times and find a sport of your choice.
