Mix It Up!

Sometimes our bodies get in a workout slump. If our goal is weight-loss, we may hit a plateau. When this happens, just mix it up! Try different workouts. If you mainly do cardio, try some resistance training. Try a different routine. You can even just put on your favorite CD and dance around your house! Our bodies tend to get used to workouts once we have done them several times. This results in the body using less energy to complete the workout, and thus fewer calories burned. The body is almost on "auto pilot". Keep your body guessing what it needs to do. This should help you avoid those slumps, plus it will keep it more exciting for you!
