How to Spot (and Beat) Gym Burnout

Training doesn’t have to be serious 24/7. Race your gym buddy like you’re five years old again, try a completely ridiculous workout (yoga, anyone?), or blast music so good that you have no choice but to bust a move between sets. If your gym playlist doesn’t make you feel like the main character in an action movie, you’re doing it wrong. Fitness should be fun, not punishment. Learn to celebrate what your body can do—whether that’s lifting heavy, running fast, or simply surviving leg day without crying.

Before too long, you should get up to doing forty-five minutes a day of aerobic exercise.

Staying active not only keeps those non-communicable diseases at bay, but it also helps me manage stress – it’s my go-to vent, if you catch my drift.

Plus, it blesses you with better sleep, healthier eating habits, and a level of discipline that would make you proud of yourself. So, give it a shot.
