10 New Ways to Fire Up Your Workout!

Just visiting the gym each day and going through the motions isn't going to give you the results you daydream about. It's important to switch up your routine from time to time, to keep your body guessing.

The American Council on Exercise has 10 ways to break the boredom and actually see a difference.

1. Up the intensity. Revving your usual pace will help you avoid hitting a plateau. Example: Run for five extra minutes each day.

2. Hire a Trainer. Concentrate on what you're doing now and let your trainer think of what's next. It will also help keep things new and fun.

3. Eat clean and drink water. Your body needs lean proteins, complex carbs and tons of water to feel energized and repair damaged muscles.

4. Quality over quantity. Exercise less but with more effort and better technique.

5. Use mind and body training. Really concentrate on the contraction for better results.

6. Work out at the best time for you. Figure out when your energy level is at its highest and hit the gym at that time.

7. Get a gym buddy. You'll go more if you have a gym partner relying on you.

8. Concentrate on breathing. When lifting weights, exhale on the exertion.

9. Use a heart-rate monitor. Gauge how hard you're working and stay within target zone.

10. Listen to music. For a boost, play your favorite tunes on your iPod during exercise.
