Mix Up Your Movement
By From the Trainers at NYC's Nimble Fitness
 When
it comes to exercise, we tend to gravitate toward workouts that we know
we can excel at which is why they appeal so much to us. But performing
the same kickboxing moves over and over, or running the same 3-mile loop
at the park, for instance, doesn’t challenge your body. You’re hardening
established neural pathways, instead of creating new ones. You’re also
making strong muscles stronger and tighter, and keeping weaker muscles
weak. Do it enough, and your body will change its shape in response to
your activity. Unless you’re training for a competition or have a
specific goal, like running a half-marathon, your goals should be
balance and strength in your entire body.
Shake up your routine—and discover how challenging yourself in different
ways makes you feel better and makes your workout time much more
effective.
