Do you need to breathe new life in to your fitness program? Have you been doing the same exercises since the Kennedy administration?

You should never do the exact same fitness routine for more than 3-4 weeks at a time. If you do, your body will plateau and you will cease to see any more gains. It's time to mix things up and challenge your body once again! Visit the ACE website and check out their exercise library. Exercises are complete with descriptions, pictures, and demos. They are categorized both by muscle group and level of difficulty.

This program isn't personalized or geared to your specific goals and it can't replace the results you would see with a personal trainer but it can get you out of your fitness rut and re-ignite your interest in exercise again

  1. everytime I've been successful at getting healthy/losing weight I've done it through cross training. Recline bike, elliptical, walking, weight training and yoga. It keeps it interesting, and your muscles don't "memorize" or anticipate the workout so I always felt I got more out of it.

  2. The other great thing about cross training is it reduces your risk of repetitive use injuries which is great because nothing curtails your goals like an injury. Your plan is great. Keep it up. Always keep your body guessing and trying new exercises. Don't forget to add weight training!!
