Vary Your Exercise

Mixing up your exercise routine will help you prevent boredom which will help you stick with your program. There are some physiological benefits as well as psychological benefits of having variety in your exercise program. When you do the same type of exercise exclusively, your body builds certain specific strengths. By switching your activity mode, you broaden your physical abilities. Doing a different activity stresses the body in a new and novel way. That's why, after trying a new physical movement, you sometimes feel sore in places where you had forgotten you had muscles. Research also shows that variety in exercise can help reduce dementia risk.
