Healthy Habits: Workout Recharge

If you do the same workout all the time, it will be less effective. It's ok to have favorites, but be sure to mix things up sometimes using some of these strategies.


- If you like doing long, steady workouts, periodically do short bursts of workouts (like short fast runs) or interval training).
- If you do a lot of lifting weights, throw some cardio between sets on occasion.
- Change the way you lift. Try doing some days with lots of fast reps, and other days with just one or two super-slow reps.
- If you don't do any weight-bearing exercise, add some. Hand weights, medicine balls, or resistance bands are all good ways to add some strength training.
