Mixing It Up

I've been in a bit of a rut with my workout routine lately - free weights and basically the same moves each time because I haven't been feeling creative enough to come up with anything different.  But yesterday I was so tired of it that I decided to do my entire workout using machines instead of free weights.  I did my legs, chest, back and shoulders all on machines.  I went back to free weights for my biceps and triceps, did my knee-strengthening exercises and my regular old crunches. 

I want to tell you that today I am sore just about every place on my body!  Even my abs, which didn't do anything differently.  Just a reminder from myself to myself that sometimes you have to change things up to get results.  It made me more interested in the workout and, based on the way I'm feeling today, it was a more effective workout than those I have been getting lately.

So whatever you are doing in your workout routine, try something new today and see if it makes a difference in how you feel tomorrow!
