What’s a Workout Haiku? The Perfect Way to Break Up Your Gym Rut
Think back to when you were taught about poetry in elementary school. It’s likely that the haiku was the first poem style you learned about. If it’s been a while since then, here’s a refresher: Haikus are brief poems that have only three lines, each with a specific number of syllables. The first line has five syllables, the second has seven and the last has five again.
Although haikus are a quick and catchy form of writing used by poets all over the world, they can also be a fun way to describe a simple-yet-solid workout. Each of these seven workout haikus is perfect for adding into your typical gym routine—especially if you feel like you’ve been in a rut lately:
