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!
