Are you stuck in a fitness rut, repeating the same workouts and meals without any joy?
What if there were a way to keep your routine without surrendering to monotony?
In this episode of Quick Wits, I share my story of finding balance between discipline and boredom, in both the gym and the kitchen. I’ll show you how routine can be enjoyable, productive, and far from monotonous.
We'll examine the psychological aspect of movements and the importance of recognizing when a routine becomes too stressful or hinders recovery and needs a switch. We delve into how introducing variety, whether it's changing your squat movements or adding novelty to your meals, can be the antidote to monotony. After all, we are human beings who crave a bit of fun and change.
Tune in to learn this powerful distinction between routine and monotony to help you build sustainable practices.
