How To Get Out Of A FITNESS RUT
Video taken from the channel: SuperFitMen
With strength training, one of the most important changes you can make to get out of a rut is to make these F.I.T.T. changes with one thing in mind: Overload. That means if you keep doing the same exercises with the same weights for the same number of reps, you need a change. Instead, try switching things up, as these workouts are designed to do.Try throwing in some “beyond failure” techniques like forced reps, drop sets, partials or rest-pause into your workouts.
Instead of always doing straight sets, wreak some havoc on your body with supersets, tri-sets, or even giant sets. You can even try.For most of us, this includes three or four runs, one or two cross-training days, and a rest day. Blend in a variety of workouts, including high-intensity intervals, fartlek runs, hills, tempo.Strength gains are all about strategy and sometimes it’s up to you to determine what your next strategy should be.
You know your body better than anyone. If you aren’t taking notes, then you aren’t going to grow. Pay attention to your training and learn how your body responds, when it stops responding, and when it tells you to chill out.If you always work out on a flat surface, it’s time to mix things up!
On the treadmill? Add an incline. Doing squats?
Stand on a BOSU. Going for a jog? Run through sand or water. You can burn more calories, engage more muscles, and get a more effective training session simply by changing the surface of your workouts.Try an exercise activity to help get you back on track after a workout rut. “The moment you sign up, you will have something to train for rather than just going through the motions,” says Guastella. “Dive all-in to what you’re training for and I guarantee you, you will learn a ton about yourself!”.
Identify the essential ( Choose the best exercises that have been proven to work for hundreds of years) Eliminate the rest (Get great at the essentials, toss the rest) Attack your goal differently. You’re a creature of habit. And that can, and should be leveraged to make progress.The best training plan incorporates three degrees of strength workouts.
On light-weight days, perform two sets of 10 to 12 repetitions. On medium-weight day.The training plan still fell right in line with strength training, just with more focus on muscle hypertrophy versus total-body strength. And most importantly, I still got to squat and deadlift, because graduates from Ivy league schools know that one does not get stronger by only doing biceps curls and triceps kickbacks.Start running differently, in a different location or at a different pace. “If you don’t mix up your training, you won’t tax your system enough to improve.
The result is often feeling bored and stale,” says Mindy Solkin, founder of The Running Center. The good news is that you can and will get out of your running rut.This is a tough time of year to stay on track with the holidays approaching, but let’s be honest, there are many times where there are challenges keeping us from achieving our health & fitness goals here are 5 Tips to get out of a Workout Rut: 1.)

EC I was really impress with your 600 & 650 deadlift. You’ve inspired me to get really serious about my training. I really appreciate your above normal expertise advice in training.Add strength training It’s easy to get trapped into long cardio sessions when you spend the majority of your day sitting at a desk, but adding weights to your cardio session can help you.It doesn’t matter who it is all that matters is that you constantly push each other to work as hard as possible and stay out of a rut.
Get out in nature. If you work out in a tiny apartment, a hotel room, or even a stuffy gym, it can be pretty normal to start feeling uninspired and bored with your workouts.The Weight Training Rut & Building Solid Muscle.
Have you ever found yourself in a training “rut”? You know the feeling. You’ve lost the enthusiasm to train.
The motivation to go to the gym on a regular basis just isn’t there anymore. Let’s face it, we’ve all had times when we just didn’t want to train.

The sad irony to watching this video is, you’re right, the rut WE are in is TEMPORARY, but, people on the street or stuck in undeveloped countries that CAN’T see THIS video are probably stuck in a rut for MUCH longer than us just due to us having more than them. Man,life is complicated. I do like the videos, keep it up!
I sleep a lot since more is happening in my dreams than in isolation.
Your videos are really useful..A subscriber from India ������
The only thing I care about in this video is the sexy bald guy talking in it.
I love the content but I got a headache XD I believe seeking help is important in this case because if the cause is laziness then yea those tricks would do but usually it’s something else keeping you from going and I don’t mean only depression something as simple as loosing hope
I always blame myself when I take a break and it’s hard for me to take breaks enthusiastically because I feel like I should be working then, just as you said. I will think of “rest=productivity” from now on. Resting is important for me to be more productive. Thank you for that tip.
Imagine your this guy.. just going about your day with steady income from just thinking of ways to do shit
EDIT: After watching, This does makes sense, You got a subscribe
Some vegetables have plant toxins designed to destroy the brain��
Thanks, I’ve been in This state ever since I hit middle school, and now I’m a high school senior.
Not getting enough sleep tied to ADHD?
My ADD brain when I go to bed at 11: “Aruba Bahama Jamaica HEEY MACARENA have you ever thought about how weird it is when people say they need BILLY MAYS here with another fantastic production and assembly is done on the plubus assembly line backer is a player in a game called football even though they use feet very rarely to actually kick the ball…”
“You can’t expect to be happy if you’re in a box all day. You need sunshine, fresh air and nature.” Hard to get some fresh air when in the middle of a pandemic. I’ve been 3 weeks inside and I thought I had my routine sorted, but now I feel stuck and don’t really know what to do.
“Mental ruts” are usually due to having EATEN A LOT OF HIGHLY PROCESSED FOODS &/or DRINKS &/or ANIMAL PRODUCTS (ESPECIALLY, THE NON-ORGANIC KINDS) the day before!!!
How do you reward yourself? What is a reward for you, or anyone?
That brain fight stuff.. happens all the time bro I’ll deffinetely take a closer look at that shit
Curious why there was a spot in the video that said ‘Air Balancing”.
Thank you �� quarantine has gotten me down but now I’m rising from the ashes
I’m stuck in a routine…. I have to get out of there… Please help… Any ladies here who could help me get out of masturbation rut?
It is suche a timely video to watch especially when being stuck indoors in isolation due to this pandemic.
I wish you all plenty of great discoveries on your journey of self awareness and personal development.
Thanks for the help! It’s boring staying inside all day quarantined.
Wow thank you so so much for making this video. I’ve never heard specifically of this action, inspiration, motivation cycle. But it makes so much sense that it is not linear but rather a cycle. THANK YOU. I’m going to try and apply it!
I was scrolling really fast and read “how to quickly get out a nut”…. I need friends.
i’m addicted to your videos and that is because u do such a great job thank you!
Why on earth do you wear a hat in the gym? There’s no sun nor rain. How odd.
This might be my favourite video on the whole of YouTube. Such great advice and love the creativity. Thank you.
Superb timing.. I was feeling like this and saw this video…..
“play more video games” i don tthink i can play more than i already do
We all want to be our best selves, nobody wants to be miserable and in a rut.
Fat? Girly, you’re so pretty and thin!! Stay healthy, stay beautiful! Loved the video!
I hope you understand how much this is helping me and others bro, thank you so much!!
I actually do need inspiration and motivation to take a shower. It’s not something I just do. I think I might be depressed…
I would love more info on sleep, adosine, how caffeine can effect you the next day or cause chronic fatigue. Would you please point me to some of your sources?
This is the most helpful advice ever ❤️ so thoughtful of you!! Deff putting these to work!
Ok I’m using this as my motivation moment, I’ll report back in a week:-)
Getting fresh haircut, clean shave and cold showers work wonders for me.
This happens a lot to me, I was super productive for a week then suddenly I was to lazy to even take a shower �� To avoid this from happening, I now took bullet journaling, just a very simple one, a to do list and events. I would write down everything I need to do for the week while also considering my limit. For example, if this week I need to sew 40 tote bags and I have 2 client meetings, I would limit myself to make 8 tote bags everyday for 5 days, on the days that I have a meeting I’m not going to sew the bags and will focus on the meeting instead (making points, evaluating the meeting results, listing what I need to do for the client, etc). This works best for me because on any day that I have to get out of the house I won’t want to do anything else. I usually get too tired or too lazy. Also, it’s important to push yourself to sleep at least 6 hours and wake up no later than 8am, dress up as if you have to get out of the house even though you don’t (this will also help if you suddenly have to leave, saves time and you won’t be too lazy to get ready).
In other words you weren’t actually working for a living and can afford to think of all this shit. When you work 12 hour swing shifts plus mandatory overtime coming out to 70 to 80 hours a week, in a 100 degree factory that maintains 80% + humidity, you only have time to take shower then pass out and start over. Welcome to an average American work life.
Just take ADHD medic and i’ll promise you’ll do your 10page essay in 2sec
Excellent video and I love the animation, which software do you use? I’d love to make some videos of my own for my business
Just listened to this podcast episode that mirrors a lot of what you are saying. It’s about brain plasticity and how action is the first step to change https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-rich-roll-podcast/id582272991?i=1000485480366
I KNEW IT; YOU ARE AN AVID JORDAN PETERSON FOLLOWER, MY MAN ������
It’s like YouTube is inside my head. I am seriously amassed by this algorithm ��
Thanks…this might get me to work out…6mths after I bought my exercise clothes.
I learned the hard way that doing the same thing day after day and expecting different results ultimately will drive you insane. I wish these self help videos were around back in my 20s because at the time I had absolutely no guidance in this crazy game we call life.
Thank you! Sometimes it is hard to start and start small is great idea to achieve a start and then to achieve the goal.
I’m really happy to find this video because this is me now, before i was really productive but suddenly i can’t understand what happened i became lazy and unmotivated to do anything, so now i understand that it’s impossible to be productive all the time. ��
Hi Joey! Just discovered your channel, what a great video. Just wondering if you’re going to do a follow up video on the psychological pattern of success vs destruction/ failure? Thanks!
This video is a treasure to be cherished and stashed deep into the heart. Thanks to this channel for creating such a wonderful content.
I’ve been telling people this a lot lately, the gradual buildup of the positive habits is a much better way to create a better lifestyle. Awesome video
I THOUGHT U WERE THE HOT WINGS HOST from first we feast lmfaooo
Your voice is so soothing and reassuring. I love your videos.
That’s Amazing, whenever a negative thought comes to my mind, I came to YouTube and magically it suggests me one of your videos about it.
I don’t care about privacy if it’s gonna help me like this everyday.
Lol dudes wish they were “violated” in their sleep whereas women try to avoid not being violated by dudes while they are awake
House cleaning: I watch shows on youtube of people cleaning other people’s messy houses and I’m very inspired to start cleaning.
Your stuff is encouraging me again.
I’m having a hard time right now-it’s summer vacation and I’m afraid of ending up achieving nothing that’s worth mentioning. There are some things I wanna achieve but I’m in my own way due to lack of energy and wrong habits. I have even kept a calender to keep track of new habits I wanted to stick with-but the corona crises got me too absorbed to stick with it. Now I can start all over again and it’s frustrating me quite a bit.
My girlfriend keeps telling me to stop putting myself under pressure-but I see no other way to get anything done at all!
Looking at your vids rise my spirit, but now’s the time for some little changes.
Stay beautyful…
I just started something like this
For those who have trouble to exercise, and have not exercised regularly for some time, just start with the simplest task
Believe me, just starting with 5 forward and 5 backward arm rotations, first thing in the morning, or at whatever timing suits you, and committing to do that every day works wonders.
For some of us, we are not as fit as we were years ago. It’s as if you’ve got muscle atrophy, ie what I call negative strength aka level minus 5.
The problem for some will be progressing too much too fast, and your body being unable to keep up.
Keep it simple, until it becomes easy, then progress.
For those with focus problems, do a little social media, youtube / netflix, and mobile phone detox.
Let’s go!!
Rest is productive (in the long term)
Gut releases Serotonin, the mood stabilizer:: So, keep your gut clean… Eat healthy
Animals in zoos aren’t happy. How can you be happy if you have an identical routine, sit all day in your bed/office? Shake
it up a little
The 2 min rule::: even if you don’t feel like doing something (eg. exercise), do it for 2 minutes. It will create momentum.
7-9 hours of sleep is necessary. Don’t play with your sleep. Otherwise it will play with you.
After a period of rut, you don’t want to load your brain with huge tasks. Your brain is like the injured muscle of an athlete that needs time to recover.
Everybody goes through ruts that may run a few days to few weeks.
If your rut is prolonged, please see a doctor.
Please could you also add your sources so we can read more concern the subject matter
I have no qualms about not getting out of my (wife’s) rut. Maybe you should find yours.
It is so shit. Everybody knows eat well sleep and exercise. I was expecting little more and little deeper insight when you mentioned depression.
Thank you so much for making this video. You don’t know how much it helps me during this hard time. I have been struggle moving on.. And was stuck in the broken loop for 3 weeks till I watched this video, now I am able to get myself back and do works:)) Good times will come. ����������
Motivation is always a question that I struggle with, the best part of this video is TAKE ACTION when you do not feel motivated soon you will be in the cycle. Then, reward the primitive part of the Brain. I find this video useful as it is the first think I’ve stared this morning.
Let me help you get out of a fitness rut. If you need any help with your fitness goals contact me at http://www.superfitmen.com. I am here to help! Hope you enjoy.
I asked Siri to resume music after watching your videos in the drive thru, and Siri instead resumed YouTube videos. I ended up listening to your voice in the car, which I guess is better than music. A happy accident, I must say.
Also, order water instead of soda.
Yea i had that experience, im having that right know normally I would go for a walk or sit in the sun to take in a vitamin.
Very valuable content, thanks for posting! Especially now is it helpful with the stupid virus…thanks again and stay safe!
I subscribe at the beginning of this video and then at the VERY END you said the words that kill my soul. “You Guyses” AHHHHH. Just kill me now.
mines just horribe lying bastards who re doing something behind my back and i relly have no clue what it is and its druving me insane? and i havent done anything to anyone!! its evil?? WTAF IS IT?
Haha, the rut-dar went off for my suggested videos as this came out of nowhere but I think is what I needed.
A great deal of your advice is known to me and proved. But the way you present it is so reliable and interesting, that I pretend not knowing it and just listen to you thinking how valuable all you’re saying is. Thank you so much!
Woah this feels like a fuckin personal attack �� Good timing tbqh
ah this wasn’t what I first thought of when I read “rut”
you know what I mean fanfiction writers lmao
Im more than just stuck in a rut ive got no job no life id expected when i got out of high school i would doing some thing with my life but no nothing i dont know whats wrong with me yesterday i tried to play a video game got on for about a minute and lost interest in it some games i havent even finished yet but i dont know why i love video games its a nice hobby for me but i dont know feel like im slowly dying waiting arround for a job doing nothing all day every day
Hi, thanks for this video, it really helps! I’ve just started getting out of a rut and stumbled across your video!
I’ve a question: in the beginning you say you’ll explain why these situations happen with prolonged productivity then replaced by prolonged procrastination, in a different video.
Have you already covered that subject? I’ve looked at your channel, and from the titles of your videos haven’t figured out if you’ve spoken about this since this video, or not.
I’m really curious to understand this pattern in myself, and where it originates.
I was thinking “Thanks Genius.” in a genuine manner. Great stuff.
Thank you for sharing the kick start methods.And you house looks so cosy.
Youtube recommendations really know how to read minds! I’ve already been taking steps to remotivate myself! A big part of being in a rut for me was depression. This video definitely highlights great tips!
5:30 FINALLY! THANK YOU FOR SIDING WITH ME! PLEASE get people to go outside for a while. They can do WHATEVER they want: just GO OUTSIDE! IT’S HEALTHY!
Thats how people think thats why mental health will always be ignored.
Thank you so much. This is especially true in the pandemic.
This played on autoplay before my semi-guilty monkey brain attempted to stop it. Super helpful since I’ve been on a gym-rut for a week now!
Well done. I can relate to this alot in my own personal journey. Thanks for sharing
I also believe it’s not right to put animals in zoos and in your home. they are not here for entertainment.
Who is is feeling “mental rut” especially during Lockdown???
Get out of your bubble and talk to other people. These motivational types NEVER tell you the BIG DEAL they are working on. Playing a piano? They say things like “project” but never what.
I really need help
my exam is after tow days and idk what to do. It feels like I forgot everything I learnt. I worked hard during quarantine but now I feel like I didn’t do anything yup I’m stuck in the same place now I can do anything just not to study I’m able to stare to the wall for tow hours just not to study idk what’s this called but still I need help…
Your videos are incredibly helpful. Thank you for all this effort and good information ☺️
Nah..You don’t actually need “inspiration” which is some sort of abstract God given idea “to do something”.
The thing you really need is a goal. Without a goal there’s no motivation. To say “to suddenly invent a goal IS inspiration” is to say “I have ‘a deep inspiration to lay on my bed for the rest of my life”. That’s because when you lay on your bed instead of getting at the gym you have a goal to avoid the negative physical feeling caused by the exercise.
The goal can be unconscious which by the way means that ONE-DOESN’TKNOW-IT or it may be conscious.
Also one may have long term goals and short term goals.
Those goals may be and often are “in conflict with each other”. One may think “I have a goal to get in good physical shape”, and yet he may have a short term goal to satisfy he’s or her sugar cravings.
Those conflicting internal thoughts causes intense, intolerable negative feeling..which has a sexy name..cognitive dissonance..and THAT you are “motivated to avoid”..which happens technically by thought suppression and when THAT comes a habit namely really fast, automatic, unconscious reppression..then you are in deep shit and no amount of inspiration inspires you to actually THINK WHAT YOU THINK..which by the way has a sexy technical name “meta-cognition”.
Please think what you THINK and write IT..your goals up to make sense of your thoughts.
I think that actually one’s thinking “feels pretty logical” when he is able to think about hes thinking the seven plus minus two items as the working memory model suggests..dont be stupid to think yoù are able to think about all of your thoughts and memories..I mean SCRIPTS and beliefs,goals and desires, hopes and wishes at one stand. There’s lots of conflicts insthe human mind..(if it helps to give physical or three dimensional location for the mind).
Its not inspiration you “need”. You are not not-inpired to do shit because of the lack of inspiration. You just had sudden and euphoric God give inspiration to get as little inspiration as possible.
Love the tip, but most importantly, your honesty on sponsors
thank you so so so much, this really helped me a lot, thank you
Thanks so much! I’m a feshmen civil engineering and the ‘hardcore’ period just started. I’ve been motivated throughout first semester but now I can’t help myself but lay in my bed for hours… (Not English as mother tongue sorry)
I’ve been struggling with a lot of the situations that you mentioned. I feel grateful of listen to answers. Thanks a lot. Your content is widely valuable.
I’m so in a rut I don’t have the motivation to finish watching this video
I forgot the something I was supposed to be doing tho. We can still smoke weed right?.He Never said not to smoke weed so I’m doing it
I feel like for my muffintop is server it hangs I can’t see my vag ew ik but I always feel like surgery is the only option I’m sick of how my body looks
Thank you so much for pointing out, that we are just animals too and that we NEED nature as well as noticing, that animals in captivity are miserable. So folks, let’s not support this kind of “entertainment”.
I feel stuck in the tri state. I feel stuck without a house to myself. I feel stuck at my job,with no car,I feel stuck in diversity and poverty,and I feel stuck around druggies
Mentality is your strength or your weakness. It can make or break you, depending on which side you choose to think/act from the most. It is your power and no one else’s. Power to be or not to be. No one is a victim of another, only that of themself. A person lives and dies from the inside out. Starts from the mind and ends from the eyes. What you make of your mind is what you make of your body and your life. What you hear, what you see, what you feel only counts for what you learn from it and ultimately what you do with it. Mentality is a choice, not a force. What will you make of yours?

“Yeah, I’m talking to you neighbor…” made me laugh. Thank you. In my world laughter is very high priority.
“It’s unrealistic to feel amazing all the time”, but somehow it is realistic to feel down all the time.
Crap. Now that I clicked on this video youtube gonna drown me in motivational videos.
As of a almost a year ago around June of 2019 I woke up in the morning and I just didn’t feel like it I called in college sick and went back to sleep then next day I had to drag myself out of bed as of recently it’s been getting worse I can’t focus on my work I’ve dropped all my hobby’s because I lost interest and I stopped going out and going for a run I couldn’t bring myself to do much and then I’d pressure myself on the day before of when things were due to get it done and I’d still feel like I haven’t done enough I dropped out of a contest I’d been working on for months because I felt nothing I did was good enough I spoke to my mum but we don’t have a good relationship she told me to just deal with it even laughed at me I’m still stuck in that rut now but I feel like this video will help me get out of it so thank you ❤️
Can you please make your videos a bit shorter, it rattles on for too long sorry, 3-5 mins is perfect length.
Stuck at life?
First thing to do is fasting,always reboot my body and mind.
Thank you for telling me to take a break & change scenery! You’re a True Friend!

If you ever need a boost of willpower, you may be tired. Take a nap and you will most likely be able to get whatever it is you need to get done
