I’m always trying to mix up my strength training. I try to make it fun as I can, but I try to make sure it’s still challenging. To tell you the truth, I hate strength training! I would much rather do cardio, but as we all know strength training is super important, whether you are trying to lose weight or just keep your muscles healthy. Strength training strengthens your bones and muscles, and helps prevent injuries.
Sometimes exercising feels like such a chore, because let’s be real, it kind of is… So I try to incorporate as many fun activities into my week as I can. This could mean taking a hike, going for a swim, paddle boarding, etc. I haven’t been shy about the fact that I am not a big fan of strength training and truth be told, this is where I need to shake things up the most. I really need fun, simple, and quick strength workouts to get me through!
