A new year, a new week...
TIME TO SWITCH IT UP!
Many of us having been doing the same workout for the past few months or possibly years and our bodies are simply bored. In my quest for better health, I have hit several plateaus and realized that change is necessary in order to reach your health goals. The more that you do the same activity, your body adjusts and does not respond the way that it once was. Even while trying for my 10 miler last Fall, I realized that although I felt as tired by runs that I had done several months earlier as well, my body was not necessarily changing. As a result, I had to change up the terrain, frequency and speed of my runs.
I came across an excellent article that gave 6 practical steps to improve one's fitness outcomes and "change the game".

Thoughts? What are we doing to switch up our fitness lives these days? Anyone taking a new gym class? new exercise move? Sharing is caring, my lovelies!
I agree. This happened to me before - when I actually exercised lol - and noticed the same thing too. Saddly, Im not exercising now but hope to do so once I reach Costa Rica. Im pretty sure I'll have time to start excerising, heck im pretty sure i'll be forced to do so just by all the walking i may have to do lol...
