Most of us are creatures of habit, especially when it comes to our fitness routine. We usually stick to the same workout and the same schedule week by week, month by month. So why are we accustomed to holding on to repetitive routines? Because it makes us feel safe and comfortable. It relieves us of a lot of pressure when we are in control of our daily activities.

But when it comes to exercise, changing up your fitness routine of new movement patterns will benefit you more than you think. Of course any movement for your body is beneficial, but there are a few key points to keep in mind on why we should change things up in the gym:

It will avoid or delay a plateau. Feel as though you are getting your workouts in, but you are not seeing results? Over time we need to train the body in completely different ways to see the benefits. Change it up.
Prevent boredom of the same routine. Are you not looking forward to your class or gym routine? Then step out of your comfort zone and try something completely new. You might be surprised on what programs you fall in love with. Change it up.
Instructors, are you feeling the burnout of teaching the same class each week? Learn a new program! It will not only help you physically, but mentally as well. So you get the picture, change it up!

We all have set routines and our daily habits keep us on track, but take the chance to develop fresh new schedules with your workouts. Push yourself to new levels to become even more passionate about fitness. And keep an open mind because you need to change up your exercise routine to achieve a balance between variety and consistency.

Embrace the seasons and the cycles of life. There is magic in change.
