Switch It Up

Members Were Sparked

Every week I change my days off if I can, so that my body does not get used to the same routine. I also switch up my activities. So, although I train for a 5k, I'm not always running at the gym. I don't always do the same DVD. Once I can finish a DVD without hurting too much, I move to a different style (toning, or abs, or dance, etc.)

MORE INFORMATION:
I don't get bored. My body doesn't get used to exercise, and I work towards avoiding the plateau

Top of every hour quickie.

At the top of every hour stop do 25 sit ups and 25 push ups. If you can't do a real push up do the modified ones. This will not only get you into doing some exercise every day but it will also help you to increase the amount of push ups and sit ups you can do. Also helps to add stuff to your Fitness calculator.
