    I absolutely LOVE going to the gym every week. If bordom is an issue for you, try doing new things while you're there.

    That's why I chose Crossfit. I can't imagine exclusively going back to a gym with all machines, sounds horrible. But I'm passionate about Crossfit, so my recommendation is find what you love. I always enjoyed lifting but had bad instructions as to how to incorporate it into a cardio program for weight loss. Crossfit gives me the workout, I get to lift all the time, and I lose weight. It's what I needed to do

    I really do not enjoy going to the gym because I fins it boring, but when I do go I try to mix it up with things like HIIT. Here are 2 exercises I like, one that you can do anywhere and one that you can do on the treadmill to make it less monotonous https://www.myliporidex.com/blog/quick_weight_loss_HIIT/

    I am not really a fan of HIIT, but I want an exercise that will not bore me and still give me fast results. Any other suggestions?

    I enjoyed my gym, but I had very active workouts. My warm ups would be basketball. I did agility and dynamic lifts. I'd pull the sled around the gym, do wall ball squats, use the trax system, swim, zumba, kickbox, do HIIT training. The gym is what you make of it. If its boring its either the wrong gym or the wrong workout routines for you.

    I miss the gym, but I workout at home now. Mostly bodyweight exercises, exercise video games and occasional workout DVDs or ones from YouTube.. I'm kicking my own butt, no gym required.

    Sometimes I don't care for the gym, but going there makes me stick to my workouts. I am not always disciplined enough to workout at home.
