Having
diversity in your exercise program is’ key’ in not reaching a plateau with your progress.
This can translate into trying new classes, mixing your cardio work between interval and steady training, mixing up your weight training sets and equipment.
Today I used a workout DVD that I haven’t used in several years. I had loaned it to a friend, and just had it returned. It is called Fit Bootie Ballet. Since I am a graduate of a tough weight training DVD series, I thought that this morning’s workout would be a breeze. No it wasn’t. Ballet uses a very different set of gluteus Maximus muscles than running or biking. Every one of them was screaming at me this morning. Great. I love being pushed to a level I hadn’t achieved before.
The humility of the difficulty of the exercise tape reminds me that there are always directions to go with my exercise plan that challenges me. I love that, and I hope you can experience that as well.
