Plan your workouts
By planning your workouts, we don’t mean down to the exact detail of what machine, what weight, what pace, etc. This can be as simple as deciding what muscle group you want to work on during each gym session or even just booking your fitness classes in advance, so you know what to expect and get your mind prepared beforehand.

Change up your routine
Don’t become a creature of habit taking part in the same class every time you hit the gym or completing the same workout day by day.

By mixing up your routine you’ll not only keep things interesting, but you’ll also keep both your mind and body invested in the activity and most certainly reap the rewards!

Take notes
It’s important to take notes! Writing down the workouts you have completed each time you go to the gym can give you more of an idea of how you’re improving.
