When you go to the gym, do you find yourself taking the same classes,
or using the same cardio machine, or maybe doing the same strength
training exercises? If you do, you may not be getting the workout you
think. Each time you hit the gym, you need to give your body some
variety. By this, I mean you need to work your muscles in a different
way each workout.
I always enjoy my yoga class with my favorite
teacher. I am use to her voice and her flow from one yoga pose to the
next. This past Saturday she was on vacation and I had a different
teacher. At first, I thought "Oh no, Where is my regular teacher?". As
we got into the class, I realized that I was having to pay attention to
the instructor and not just go through the motions. I came out of class
feeling like I had had a good workout.
I now plan to switch
workout classes from time to time. I feel that this will keep my body
and mind on its toes. No more just going through the motions. Next
class to try is step for a cardio change. This should be great for
burning up the calories.
Time to head for the gym!
