Switch It Up

If you are doing the same routine every time you exercise your body (and your mind) may be falling into a rut. 30 minutes on the elliptical every day, every other day or 3 times a week gets boring for you and your body.
We need to get out of the same routine workout regime. There are a few ways you can shock your body and improve your image too.
Changing the type of exercise you do is a great way to improve cardiovascular capacity and make exercise more successful and rewarding.
Instead of the same movement whatever that may be, running, elliptical training, biking try doing different things for every other workout session. Bike one day, run or walk another, take a class or rent a video. Also, make changes to the duration and the intensity of your exercise time. Some days try to keep your pace steady other days challenge your self.
Something common many people do when they exercise is always move in a forward motion. Run, Walk, Elliptical, Bike all forward facing motions. Try some lateral moves, step aerobics, dance or just do a side step for a while during a walk.
Most importantly mix it up and you will see better results for your efforts.
