Bored? Good.

In order to get better at anything, you need to practice.

And the better your practice is, the more likely you are to improve. Athletes of every sport, at every level, drill the fundamentals. The best in the world still work on the basics.

But in fitness, we’re obsessed with novelty. We want something new and shiny so we don’t get bored.

What if boredom isn’t the enemy? What if it’s part of the process?

If you’re always chasing the next new thing, you never give yourself the time to adapt. Real progress comes from doing the same thing over and over—strength work, mobility drills, conditioning sets. It’s repetition that builds results.

So reframe boredom. If your routine feels stale, it means you’ve been consistent. You’re putting in the reps. You’re right on track.

Bored? Good. That’s the sound of progress.
