How Unpredictable Is Your Workout?

At some point in your life, you may have heard the saying "variety is the spice of life". One place where this cannot be better applied is in your workout routine. Generally speaking, your body will adjust to your workout routine well before your mind does. Find ways to add variety to everything you do. If you've only ever used strength training machines, try using dumbbells and barbells as a substitute. If you typically start your workout with a moderate walk on a treadmill, try varying your speeds and levels of inclination instead. Whether you're trying to lose, gain, or maintain weight it pays to throw your body off of its normal routine so complacency never becomes an issue.
