I love this weather! I’ve taken my clients to the park this week for workouts, and everyone feels rejuvenated in the sunshine. Getting outside is the perfect way to kick the boredom out of your exercise routine. Plus, variety helps keeps your body guessing. Cross-training (alternating 2, 3, or 4 types of exercise into your schedule) is a great way to keep yourself in tip-top shape! Your body has to adapt to different modes of moving, which is not only better for your muscles (and reduces the risk of over-use injuries) but more entertaining for your mind!

Set a goal for yourself this month to try something new. If you typically run, try speed-walking instead, and pay attention to how your legs work differently. Incorporate short bursts of skipping (high knees!), or jogging backwards. If you take a regular yoga class indoors, try bringing a mat outside in the shade and practicing on your own. Or incorporate social activity into your workouts by inviting a co-worker or your long-lost best friend to spend an hour shooting hoops or tossing the lacrosse ball around.

Fresh air and new activities will help inspire you this spring! Enjoy!
