Lose weight when you vary your exercise routine

Exercise is great, and it’s a must if you want to lose weight, but are you doing the same kind of exercise each day?

Lose Weight: 3 Sure-Fire Ways Busy Executives Blow Their Weight Loss Efforts : “Consistency might be good for your business, but variation is better when it comes to your fitness routine. Don’t tie yourself to the treadmill when you could have fun with an occasional yoga class or sign up for softball. I guarantee if you don’t include variety in your fitness plan, you will eventually hit a fitness plateau.”

We all tend to get into a comfortable rut – run to the gym, or go for a daily walk – but our body gets used to our routine, and then it’s less effective.

On the other hand, if you’re so pressed for time that your daily half hour walk is all you can do, don’t beat yourself up over that: you’re moving, and that’s a big plus. Go for a bike ride on the weekend.
