Shake Up Your Exercise Routine

Cardio:

  • Pick up the pace! If you regularly walk, work on taking faster steps rather than longer ones. You might also try intervals; alternate between speeding up for one minute and slowing down for two.
  • Take a new route. If your daily walk is mostly on flat rods, seek out new terrain such as a hiking path at a local park.

Weights:

  • Break out of your rut. If you started with 5 lbs, move up to 7 or 8 lb weights. Make the change at least six weeks after you start or when you can reach the 10th repetition with ease.
