7 Reasons To Switch Up Your Workouts
When it comes to fitness, many of us tend to stick to one particular routine. We go to the same classes, work on the same muscles, use the same equipment, and run the same route ever single time we put our shoes on.
Such a routine can create comfort within your body: which can make it hard for you to see real changes in your body.
Yes, it’s important to vary your fitness routine. Why? Simply because your body and brain will reap benefits when you try new activities.
Plus, isn’t it soooo boring to stick to the same exact routine every week?
We’ve listed a few points regarding why you should switch up your workouts.
Break Through Your Regular Routine!
As we previously mentioned, doing the same activity isn’t the most efficient way to burn calories or make a body transformation. In fact, this often happens because your body gets used to the activity and hence burns less calories. You won’t be gaining extra muscle if you’re giving your body the same exact routine every day. Challenge your body in ways that it’s not used to — Work harder on muscles that you’re not usually working on. Try to reach new goals!
Prevent Injuries!
You are more likely to get yourself hurt when you put your body through the same motions over and over again. We call this repetitive stain injury; which occurs when you insist too much on one or more muscle.
Build New Muscle!
Challenge your body in different ways! For recreational exercisers like you, the best approach is to do a little of everything.
Beat Workout Boredom!
Switching up your regular routine will allow you to avoid falling into a drastic routine. Sometimes we find ourselves counting down the seconds left in our usual workout. This definitely doesn’t happen when you’re switching it up!
Help Keep Your Brain Healthy!
Exercise is essential for keeping your brain healthy — it prevents from memory loss and allows your neurons to fire better.
Meet New Workout Partners!
The best way to stay engaged and committed to a regular physical activity! And what better way to find someone than to try a new workout?
Get Excited About Your Goals Again!
It’s just about time to make a change when you start hitting the snooze button alarm for the gym on your phone!
Hopefully this will give you guys some incentive to switch it up!
