I have been using my new stationary bike for a few weeks now and it's doing a great job of changing things up. For cardio sessions, I have been mixing cycling and running. With manual mode, programs between the two, and inclines on the treadmill, it offers a lot of variety to shake things up. I haven't had the same workout twice in a row in ages!
Over the years I have noticed that my workouts and exercises (types, time, intensity) have changed and evolved. I'm sure any fitness enthusiast would have similar experiences.
There was a period where I was running and practicing yoga, then running and cycling, then walking and weight lifting and the list goes on. I have worked out outside, in the gym, in studios and now in my home gym. There is also the extensive list of various equipment and routines!
It's interesting to look back on how you managed to exercise no matter where you are and what your circumstances, if you put your mind to it. I have also noticed I get the urge to try something new as my body's way of telling me it's getting bored of doing the same old thing.
When you live an active lifestyle you find fitness wherever you go and feel motivated to try new things to peak your interest.
It's important to find activities you enjoy so exercise becomes a hobby and not a chore.
How have your workouts changed and evolved?
