Four

We all get bored with our same old workouts sometimes.  Here are four ways to refresh our routines.

 

1.     Do the other side first.  We all have a preferred side.  Starting with the other hand or leg gives our brains a moment of shock.

2.     Do it backwards.  If we always do the upper body first, try the lower body.  If we usually do cardio first, try weights and then cardio (after a warm up, of course!).  Have a usual circuit?  Go the other way around.

3.     Do it faster (or slower).  We can challenge ourselves to go as quickly as is safe or as slow as we can manage.  One will increase our power, the other our control.

4.     Change the location.  Take it outside, or inside, or into another room.  Or just change the music so it feels like another location—beach music anyone?

 

Go play.
