Switch Up Your Workouts

Like most people, I felt that I was starting to get into a rut with regard to my strength training program.

So, this past week, I have not let myself duplicate one movement from the past month.

I didn’t have to totally change everything..just change enough to hit my muscles a different way. I did things such as:

1.  Performed pushups with one hand on a ball.

2.  Changed my forward stepping lunges to back stepping lunges.

3.  Held the plank with both hands on a SPRI ball

And so on.

I am REALLY sore this week. It’s amazing what can happen when you switch it up.

And if you are like me, when you are sore, you think “Wow, I’m doing good stuff for my body” and that makes me even eat that much better.

Give it a try.
