Are You Sleepwalking In The Gym?

…like a Zombie

This past week I’ve noticed people in the gym just going through the motions…literally like they’re asleep in the gym. These “Gym Zombies” have always been amongst us — maybe it’s a full moon?

Or maybe it’s just workout boredom, being stuck-in-a-rut or not having the know-how to wake up their workout?

Changing it up in the gym is not only a good thing … it’s necessary.

Our bodies adapt to whatever we throw at them, so having a wide and deep workout toolkit not only keeps us moving, but energizes us for the day — and can even be life-changing.

The cool thing is you don’t need a lot of money or time to get that jump-start you need to make it something you look forward to again. You just need some new ideas, you need ‘em personalized and you need ‘em now.

That’s where Fit2Play comes in.

Thinking about fitness outside-the-box means taking a whole new look at how to fit fitness into your life rather than fitting your life around boring hours in a gym.

Here are a few ideas:

Do you like working out in the gym, but not seeing results? Get moving with a cool kettlebell workout. Just 30 seconds of swinging the bell (with the right form) and you’ll feel it in your glutes, abs, hamstrings and you can do it anywhere … office, kitchen, backyard, gym. Adding this one exercise can create more positive changes (reduces body fat, increasing strength, power, and gives a wicked conditioning effect).
Move it outdoors … there’s just something cool about getting it done outside. If you have a tree, a few kettlebells, bands, and maybe a sledge hammer…BAM!
Used to going from machine to machine at your favorite gym or corporate fitness center? Free-weights can make the same old gym new again with moves that will take in 15 minutes instead of an hour fifteen.
Why should kids have all the fun? Jump rope, throw a ball, add sprints, stairs or a hill — just enjoy new movements.
