Variety in Fitness
January 11, 2010
Variety adds spice to your workouts.
Always keep muscles guessing: Same routine=BORING
Your body responds very well to variety and change and below are examples of some easy 'changes' you can incorporate:
-You can go lighter or heavier with the weight.
-Add more repetitions or less repetitions.
-Change the mode of exercises by using free weights, machines, 'gym toys', or core/ balance workouts.
-Perform upper body/ lower body routines.
-Do push or pull moves, single muscle exercises or compound muscle exercises.
You should change up your routine continuously.
Your body becomes bored with stale routines, so shake things up
with change so your body never reaches a plateau... but will instead continuously change for the better!
Work-in different weight bearing exercises (machines, dumbbells, barbells) each day, week or month.
Perform new cardiovascular routines each day, week or month using different modes
that raise your heart rate. This is important for building a stronger heart muscle which in turn burns
calories by raising your metabolism!!
And of course, you should be eating a variety of fresh fruits/vegetables,
protein and ONLY healthy, unprocessed carbs.
