Mix!

I talk a fair amount about how we need to mix things up.  Bodies like change.  That’s the positive reason to do it.

There is also a negative reason.  When we always do the same thing, we put ourselves at risk for overuse injuries.  They even have names like Tennis Elbow or Yoga Butt (no, I did not make that up and it doesn’t refer to how a behind looks, but to a pain at the pelvic end of the hamstrings.).  Good form can help to prevent or improve some of those overuse issues, but our best plan really is to find a mix of things we love so our bodies don’t wear out any one part.

And no, substituting spin bike for regular bike doesn’t count.
