weekly fitness tip: diversify your workout.

Here’s my fit tip today:

DIVERSITY

If you love to run, try Tae Bo. If you walk, try swimming. If you like to lift weights, try yoga. Mix it up a bit. It keeps the monotony of exercise at bay and gives your muscles a little confusion, which is a good thing, even if it doesn’t sound like it.

What are YOUR fit tips? Hand ’em over ladies!

    Grab a baby. I try to do lunges, squats or twists while I’m holding my new baby. At least it’s something, right? When he gets a little bit bigger I can lay him next to me when I do crunches, or in front of me when I do push ups (ok, wimpy girl style pushups) making him laugh when I pop into his line of vision.

    my friend told me that she drinks a big glass of water BEFORE her meal so that she doesn’t over eat.

    I totally agree. Variety is key. The other thing? Have a mix of indoor and outdoor activities, especially if you are an outdoor excerciser. Rain can easily make you say, “I can’t run today…”
