Getting bored at the gym.. need suggestions

I would definitely join a class because they are always different!

If you are really looking for a challenge I would try boxing. A lot of people think that when you box you have to actually fight people, but there are a lot of different kinds of boxing gyms out there. Look for something that is more fitness oriented than fighting if you are not into that. I started going to a boxing fitness class about 6 months ago and it is amazing! I started going once a week and now I'm up to 3 or 4. My body was totally transformed! It is a full body work out as strength training goes and it is the best cardio workout I've ever done, and I was in every sport possible when I was younger. There are women there that are in their late 30s and look like they are in their 20s.

Why don't you take a friend? I go with a friend/ training partner... we make lots of fun at each other whilst there :noway: ...
Or perhaps try another gym for a while, new surroundings etc...

Honestly, I'm the only one of my local group of friends that workout. The ones that do want to go are slightly more interested in chitchatting on the treadmill than getting their butts kicked. Possibly could workout with my brother, that might be more helpful.

We are in the same boat! none of my besties seriously work out. When they do its walking and still talking which I dont consider cardio, I want a red face and be so sweaty it looks like I just showered!!!!! :-)
I have been circuit training a bit there is a bootcamp near my house. Its definately been a breathe a fresh air to my mundane gym time. Joining classes at the gym helps too if your gym offers it.

Good luck girlie!

I am a lover of music, so as long as I have fun music blasting in my ears ... I don't seem to get bored! That is the only way I can refrain from boredom. If I didn't have music in my ears, my attention span would go floating away, and my brain would demand I do something else. lol.

Same here
