It’s important to vary your workouts for different reasons:
-Boredom will kill your motivation to work hard and keep pursuing your goals.
-Cross training creates muscle confusion. This keeps you from plateauing in your progress. Cross training in strength based exercises allows you to increase your cardio, and to work more than one body part at a time (legs and shoulders, biceps and quads etc.).
-Cross training can increase your strength, not by working longer, but by working harder.
-Try a new fitness class, or do sprints for 35 minutes instead of a slow/steady walk for 60 minutes. If you can drink coffee while you’re walking, you won‘t see the results you are looking for! Bump up the effort, and see the results, faster!
