Mix Up Your Fitness Routine

Mixing It Up is Good for Your Health

Has your regular exercise routine become dull lately?  Feel like you are stuck on the same treadmill and not getting the results you want?  To cure the blahs, mix up your routine!

Boredom can undermine your best intentions. When physical activity loses it luster, it's easy to find excuses for not doing it.

THE VALUE of MIXING UP YOUR FITNESS ROUTINE

 Mixing up your routine does more than just beat boredom.

There are some physiological benefits as well as psychological benefits of having variety in your exercise program. When you do the same type of exercise exclusively, your body builds certain specific strengths. By switching your activity mode, you broaden your physical abilities.

Doing a different activity stresses the body in a new and challenging way. That's why, after trying a new exercise, you sometimes feel sore in places where you had forgotten you had muscles.

Stress on the body can be a good thing. We don't want it to be an excessive overload, but…we need to push it beyond what it normally does in order for it to improve.

MAKING A SWITCH

Want to try something different? Here are some tips for mixing it up:

• Give yourself time to learn the specific skills or techniques needed for proficiency.  Try a QT Barre Basics or a QT Spin Basics class if you are new to these classes.  The Basic classes slow things down and help you with proper form and technique!
• Don’t judge yourself from where you were years ago, use your current fitness level as your base level.  This will help you stay focused and not be so hard on yourself.
