When you
have been working out for so long you suddenly stop
losing weight. Even though you know you need to lose
more weight, your body is not responding. Your body is
craving new and adventurous ways to work off that
weight. Your muscles are all muscled out; they can't
gain anything by doing the same exercises anymore.
That's why you have to try something new. Check out this
week's article on Get Ready to Spice up your boring
workout. |

Chronic fatigue is one of the most debilitating symptoms of MS. A nutritious,
low-fat breakfast and plenty of complex carbohydrates such as jacket potatoes
and brown rice at other meals will help energy levels throughout the day. This
can also help to keep weight under control as part of a calorie-controlled diet.

Unconditional success
Success comes more quickly and more surely to those who refuse to put conditions
on their commitment. An attitude of "whatever is Convenient" won't
accomplish very much. An attitude of "whatever it takes" is impossible to
stop.
What is your priority -- convenience or commitment? What do you seek most
passionately -- comfort or accomplishment? Do you look for the easiest way out,
or the most effective way to move forward? Unconditional commitment
produces unconditional success. When opportunity comes along you must
follow it, or it will leave you behind. It will rarely be convenient and will
often be uncomfortable.
It will interrupt your favorite TV show, and ask that you drive to the other
side of town or fly to the other side of the world. It will require that you
meet new people, learn new skills, and get up earlier in the morning. Whatever
it takes, for as long as it takes -- that will accomplish anything.

"Pay
as little attention to discouragement as possible.
Plough ahead as a steamer does, rough or smooth - rain
or shine. To carry your cargo and make your port is the
point. "

Get Ready to Spice up your boring workout
Boredom will kill any workout routine. Who really wants
to work out on the same machines doing the same reps
every day? It gets to be so very boring, that you lose
all motivation to work out in the first place. This is
an indication that your body is craving for new and
adventurous ways to workout.
Vary your fitness routine
By varying your workout routine you will be able to
break the monotony and at the same time gain the
advantage of working out different muscles. This way you
won't end up with a super big butt and great abs. You
will be well toned all over. By varying your exercise
routine you will be crashing through the fitness
barriers that arise every so often. You will be jumping
over hurdles of fitness plateaus. When you have been
working out for so long you suddenly stop losing weight.
Even though you know you need to lose more weight, your
body is not responding. That's why you need to vary your
workout routine. Your body is craving new and
adventurous ways to work off that weight. Your muscles
are all muscled out; they can't gain anything by doing
the same exercises anymore. That's why you have to try
something new.
Check out suggestions to spice up your training
routine:
Get a bag: This one is my favorite. Bring a
punching bag and installed it in a room . Once a week,
beat the crap out of this thing until you can't raise my
arms. This can be great for a cardio workout, your arms,
and even your legs (you know, if you stick and move..).
Toss the medicine ball: The medicine ball has
been used as an athletic training aid for decades in
Europe, but only in recent years has the value of
medicine ball training been recognized in the United
States. Grab a medicine ball and lie on your back in a
comfy spot near the TV. When you un-Tivo (playback) your
favorite show, toss the medicine ball in the air and
catch it each time something common happens.
