FOCUSED

in your workout

How to stay

As someone with ADHD, I know staying focused while working out can be tough!

But I have found ways around it.

Here are 6 ways to stay focused in your workout so you can get it done!

The day before, plan out exactly what your workout will be. Even better - plan out your whole week!

Make a plan

1

Nothing kills your focus more than trudging through exercise you hate! Go hike, swim, dance, or work in your garden. Just move!

Do what you enjoy

2

Repetitive activity can trigger boredom. Try tabata or HIIT workouts with frequent changes to keep your interest up.

Switch it up

3

If laundry, clutter, or the TV distracts you, get out! Even a 5-10 min walk can help you reset and mentally prepare for your workout.

Get out of the house

4

Let someone else do the thinking! Try a new class at a gym and stick with it until the end. (Nobody likes to walk out early, right?)

Try a class

5

Time flies when you're having fun! Turn on some tunes or your favorite show and get in the zone.

Add music or video

6

Combine your workout with a "reward" activity - and only allow yourself to do that activity after (or during) exercise!

Try habit bundling

BONUS

Keep a positive mindset! Once you can focus on getting your workout done, you'll have better focus afterwards too!
