It's a great time to re-invent your workout

When you've finally reached your exercise groove, it's a great feeling -- you know how to get it in, get a sweat, and get it done. In other words you're comfortable. The problem is you may be undermining your body from further change, and that means you may be stuck in a workout rut.

At some point, even if you've only been exercising a few months, your body will cease to respond, unless you change up your program. Your body is like your brain -- it's inquisitive, it wants to know fresh, new things, learn new tasks, and be challenged by innovative activity. When you follow the same pattern day after day, whether it's the same walking path, the same exercises, the same reps, sets and weights, or the same order to your exercises, your body's reaction is to your body, a little trickery is required to keep burning more calories, developing more muscle, losing more fat and therefore, see total transformation. Constantly surprising your muscles with variety by changing your workouts regularly will encourage muscle action; they'll respond much quicker.

To keep your body reacting like a fine-tuned muscle machine, try a variety of workouts -- men, since it's summer, you might want to try a workout without weights -- it can be done anywhere at anytime and women ... well, we are always looking for quick results, so I suggest trying the no-wait workout (as in time.) Then watch your body change! And, don't forget ... as soon as you're comfortable, switch it up again.
