 Question is from twin sanity fitness. What are some tips for mental exhaustion from the gym? Oh boy change your focus change your goals or get out of the gym and do something outside Yeah, go outside man. Yeah, do do something else I think if you're if you're you know, there's a million and one ways to be active and There's nothing wrong with if you're bored or burnt out from your modality of training And you're just sick of the gym sick of the weights and whatever Go do go work out in the park or outside or do body weight exercises or use rings or do other There's so many different ways to be active. That's one of the best ways I've ever found to keep myself motivated was to change the focus from you know strength to maybe Endurance or mobility or to jiu-jitsu or something else Yeah one of my favorite things to do is to take kettlebells and bring them outside and and do things outside in nature and You know, I've been able to take a may spell and like you said the Olympic rings and things to hang over like tree branches and Just that new environment new stimulus like creates a whole new spark Which then you know like inevitably the novelty of that will kind of wear off You'll find yourself back in the gym. You'll go through that again. It's just it's just a nice window of change I think it's just to think like that. This has happened to me a ton of times just in the time We've had this podcast going we've only been doing this podcast for five years in that time I took like a strength training bodybuilding type of hiatus where I was 100% mobility focused I didn't need to be in the gym for that. I was doing a lot of that stuff at home Then I went on a swimming kick for a while where I was rarely weightlifting maybe once a week And then the rest of time was swimming and I'm currently playing more basketball than I'm lifting hoops right now I mean lifting weights right now. I lifted one time last week. I played ball three times Yeah, I you know a Lot of what drove me to weights early on was my insecurities of what I needed to look like And I and I occasionally feel that again like I just did a YouTube video and you know It's it's inevitable I get a you know a troll on there that will say something about me looking like I don't lift weights and And and it reminds me it stings and you know jerks. Yeah, it well It reminds me of that that that insecurity that I had as a kid that that's what drove me into lifting weights now I'm I'm a way more comfortable with where I'm at for me as long as I'm I'm healthy. I'm flexible. I'm mobile I'm strong and right now. I'm currently not very athletic and so a lot of that my focus the little bit of weight training I am doing is centered around Athleticism and I'm playing basketball. So yeah, I won't look like a bodybuilder I won't be impressive for Instagram or YouTube But I'll continue to remain healthy and I'm focusing on something else and I know me I'll be on that kick Just like I was swimming last I'll be doing it for a while I'll in see I like to work at something and show myself Improvement and prove that I can be consistent with it and and show improvement and then I like to move out of it Like I've kind of already Reads the pinnacle for myself in bodybuilding. I don't think I'll ever take my body to a more of an extreme than What I did getting on stage and so I just have less of a desire to do that these days And so I don't need to be in the gym Lifting five seven days a week not that I won't do that again or I don't enjoy that sometimes But I'm also comfortable moving in and out of modalities To keep myself healthy and the cool thing about resistance training in particular is it's so versatile You know I mean like you could do you could work out with barbells and dumbbells. You could use kettlebells You could do body weight. There's stuff you could do outside stuff. Of course stuff you can do in the gym You could use bands You could use suspension trainers. There's so many different ways that you can train and work your body out No, look, here's the other thing. We have created many many workout programs and part of the reason why we've done this not only is because there's people have different goals But it's also for the fitness enthusiast who is a long time. They're gonna be working out for forever So if you're working out forever, you could follow this maps program which like maps anabolic and maps aesthetic Maybe go to maps performance maps strong maps OTF and they're all very different and it keeps that spark Alive because you're training for different things. So, you know, if you want guidance that might be something I suggest Try some of our different programs that have totally different like going from maps anabolic to like maps You know OTF very very different. Excuse me. Oh, I don't know why I said that Orange Yeah, yeah OCR, excuse me off-school course racing. That's a very very different workout program and it's totally It's it's it's different. So for some people that's fun and exciting So here's the thing I suggest you don't do try not to stop Like try to not stop working out because you're bored with what you're doing rather than stopping just change it I think that's the message we're all trying to convey right now
