Why is it important to mix up my workout routine?
Are you wondering what one of the secrets to making exercise a lifelong habit is? It’s mixing up your exercise routine. Here are some of the top benefits of changing things up.
- Preventing plateaus -. Your body is clever, and it quickly adapts to the exercises you’re doing, so you may stop seeing improvements in your strength or endurance. Mixing up your workouts by changing the exercises, the order in which you do them and the intensity can help to prevent plateaus in your progress.
- Keeping things interesting - doing the same exercises every time you work out can get boring. Switching up your routine keeps exercise fun and motivating for you.
- Preventing injuries - repeating the same exercises over and over again can put a lot of strain on specific muscles and joints, which can eventually lead to overuse injuries. You can lower your risk of injuries and strains by switching up your workouts.
