Fall in love with exercise all over again

It's all to easy to get stuck in a rut or hit a plateau, and let all your 'exercising charisma' fly right out the window. And then of course disappointment and frustration settle in its place, and pretty soon the weight and flab start climbing back on until everything you already gained, however small it seemed, is gone.

As important as it is to make exercise and fitness a part of your regular "routine," it's equally important to recognize when that same routine is turning sour for you and doing you more harm than good. Adding some spontaneous improvisation (safely) to your workouts can give them some "spice" and rejuvenate the whole experience. And it works for pretty much anything -- even structured methods like Yoga and Pilates have room for your own personal flair!
