I really try hard to vary my workouts because it seems that if I continue to do the same thing day in and out my results tend to plateau. <br /><br />Again, not fitness guru, but I've heard that interval training is really good for you--mixing cardio and weights or even doing short bursts of high energy blasts in the middle of your workout.<br /><br />When I wasn't so obsessed with getting miles in a set time I like to run for a minute, walk 2 minutes, etc etc. It actually helps the time go fast, too!<br /><br />Thanks for your input!!Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636184197568930724.post-23872340553135374502010-02-02T12:34:36.938-06:002010-02-02T12:34:36.938-06:00Every month (sometimes longer) I redo my goals in ...Every month (sometimes longer) I redo my goals in order to help me reach the "well-rounded, non-rut-forming" workouts.<br /><br />For instance, in January, my goals were: <br />1. walk 8 mi/week<br />2. 2 non-walking cardio workouts/ week<br />3. yoga twice/week<br />4. pilates once/week<br />5. strength train twice/week<br />6. go to the local state park at least twice during the month for a trail hike <br /><br />To get varying workouts, I am an avid reader of Self, Fitness, and Shape magazines, but you don't have to have a subscription to get their workouts. Each of their websites offers free memberships and tons of workouts to choose from (everything from a do at home using no equipment to a workout you can take to the gym with specialized equipment).Shore Debrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10041565504692473680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636184197568930724.post-63082926817943731712010-02-02T09:03:10.026-06:002010-02-02T09:03:10.026-06:00My favorite exercise is to go for a run on the tra...My favorite exercise is to go for a run on the trail but I also walk and over the last 6 months, have found some video workouts that I like. On days when I cannot get out, I have The 30 Day Shred. It is only a 20 minutes workout but it is good and if you keep it up, the results come pretty quickly. And I have two Kathy Smith videos that have 10 and 20 minutes workouts for strength, abdominal, and core exercises. I can fit in a 20 minute video in the morning so it works for me. I also have an elipitcal but because I am at risk for osteoperosis, I am trying to focus on the impact exercises more than the fat burning ones.Juliannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05788697584714695636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636184197568930724.post-38018465010380744762010-02-01T21:20:42.818-06:002010-02-01T21:20:42.818-06:00I am trying to vary my workouts through the whole ...I am trying to vary my workouts through the whole thing so that I can hopefully burn some fat and shape my body some. I did a Yoga/Pilates video last night that left me sore, sore, sore today. I do 3 different exercise videos though and walk on the treadmill at the gym so that I don't get bored. So far it's working. I've had a low level of soreness for most of the last month doing the weights videos, cardio videos, walking, and now yoga/pilates. Have I lost any weight though? No, of course not! I do not have the most strict diet in the world!

We are so on the same page! :DAmandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026099426503180472noreply@blogger.com
