Variety is the spice of life

"Variety is the spice of life".
That is what Jo-Ellen from Curvy Girl Fitness says.

And you have probably heard that expression before. I have talked about varying our workout before and I thought that expression was perfect to remind us about that again.
Sometimes we get stuck in the same workout routine for months or years without us noticing.

Jo-Ellen says:

Cross training, in every area of your fitness routine, is crucial. So get out there, try new classes, use new equipment, find out what those huge beach balls and half balls are in the anyway...then use them a few times.

Well it has been discussed if varying your workout is good or not. How will your body know that it has gone three weeks or a month? Well it might not know it and sure it can be good to continue with the same workout if you feel it does you good.

The kind of variety I´m talking about is variety for fun.
That we should vary our workout once in a while to not miss out on something we might like and get bored with the same routine.
I agree with Jo-Ellen, Variety is the spice of life, no matter if we are talking about fitness or food.

Do you vary your workout or do you prefer to stick to the same old routines?
