Mix it Up this Week ~ Challenge Yourself to a New Workout!
Our bodies are amazing machines, adapting quickly to regular stresses. In order to continue seeing results from all of our hard work, it is crucial that we challenge ourselves in new ways! Workouts can be challenged though any one or more of their components. Intensity and duration can be adjusted, and of course, the type of exercise can be changed itself.
If you find yourself getting bored, burned out, losing motivation – the thing to do is spice up your routine.
This week I challenge you to try something NEW!
This doesn’t necessarily have to be something you have never done, just at least something that you haven’t done in a very long time.
There are so many cardio, strength training, flexibility, functional fitness options out there – all you need to do is find a new way to stay active this week. To officially complete this mission, all you need to do is one activity –but who knows, you may find yourself adding it into your schedule on a regular basis! Speaking of that – have you been planning out your workouts every week?? Just as a reminder to keep that up, I have attached the workout schedule from week one to your email. Be sure to keep that up weekly – this will keep you on track.
What will you choose?? Here are a few ideas:
· Try a different/new workout class at your gym – TIP: Introduce yourself to the instructor at the start of class. This will allow him/her to help you with set up and this way he/she will know to give good instructions during class. Be sure to tell him/her about any health concerns/injuries.
· Go for a hike, bike ride, swim, power walk in nature
· Work out with an active friend/spouse – learn something from his/her routine
· Play a sport with your kids
· Add some intensity to your cardio or strength routine. TIP: Try doing cardio intervals (short bursts of cardio – 30sec-1min) between sets of strength training. Excellent calorie burner!
