20 ways to Kick your Workouts up a Notch

It's Summer - have your workouts taken a back seat??? Let's get back into gear, here are a few tips to switch it up....

1. Change the time of day you workout.
2. If you always do cardio first, try doing it after the weight lifting. Or vice versa.
3. Vary the intensity. You don’t need to kill it every workout.
4. Alter the order you do the exercises. Do you always start with the same exercise? Do small parts first?
5. Redesign your workout altogether. Start over. Change up all the exercises.
6. Don’t do your lifting and your cardio on the same days if you always have in the past.
7. Take up a new sport.
8. Join a new class. Or even a new gym! Change of scenery is good.  **Better yet, come join my class - I love fresh new faces!
9. Get a workout video you can do at home.
10. Change the number of reps you do in each set.
11. Change the number of sets you do of each exercise.
12. Shorten or lengthen your rest periods between sets.
13. Don’t count reps at all! Time yourself instead and just do as many as you can in a given time frame.
14. Add some explosive, plyometric exercises to your routine.
15. Set a goal.
16. Buy yourself some new workout clothes! (But earn them first by adhering to #15 for 4 weeks.)
17. Switch up your music.
18. Get a workout buddy.
19. Increase the weight you’re using.
20. Make it FUN again! We USED to go outside and PLAY. Now we go to a gym and “WORKout”. Make it recess again!

Get up and Get Moving!!!!! 

Until next time, Be Well,
