Variety is the Spice of Life

Remember, workouts don't have to be boring! And doing the same thing every day will actually lull your body into complacency and it will stop working as well.

I was in a hotel earlier this week and used the fitness room. At first I went to my old standby - the treadmill. But this treadmill had SERIOUS issues so I hopped off and jumped on the elliptical machine. 20 minutes later I was toast! Different muscles, different effort. But it felt good. A little sore later in the day, but totally worth it.

With the weather getting so nice, and it isn't brutally hot - yet, use this time to vary your workouts. Get outside and soak up the sunshine while you run, or walk the dog, or garden. Your body will thank you.

At least it will eventually.
