Tired of the same ol' exercise routine day after day? Try out some of these fun exercise combinations to spice things up a bit! Not only do they add variety, but the switch to something new keeps your body challenged-creating a more intense workout! . It's "micro-cross training". Don't do this every day, though. Your body also needs steady, long- duration exercise to foster fat burning.
ATHLETIC TRAINING:
You can also add variety and challenge to your workouts by trying out new types of movements. Following are some movements that mimic sport-like activities. They are large, free, lateral movements that incorporate a variety of muscles. Especially important-these actions are different from what you typically do in the gym or in a walking or running program. The best place to do them is outside. Do each for about 25-50 yards. Intersperse each activity with a slow jog/walk back to the starting place and then do the next one. Remember… this is supposed to be fun!
