 Doing different activities and games helps prevent injury and boredom. If you are left looking at the clock repeatedly, you may reasonably assume that you are not having fun. The element of pleasure makes us pay attention to the activity at hand. Cross training can help add FUN to activity at hand. Rather than jogging 3 days a week for aerobic exercise, you can alternate jogging with swimming, biking, and tennis.
Rather than doing the same weight machines every time you go to the gym, mix it up with some free weight exercises or take a strength conditioning class. Varying your workout routines engages different muscle groups. This not only improves your overall fitness, it helps to prevent overuse injuries that are more common in single-sport activities.

Words of Inspiration

You Don't Have To
 You
are free to walk away from the thoughts, habits and
actions that have held you back. You don't have to keep
pulling yourself down. You don't have to.
The negative thoughts, the self-defeating things you do,
may have become so familiar that you think they're a
part of you. They are not. You have the strength to
leave them behind.
You know well what helps you, and what hurts you. You
know what brings growth and fulfillment, and what is a
waste of time. You know. And you don't have to tolerate
another moment of being any less than the best you can
be.
You know what you need, and what you can do. Do what
needs to be done, and stop what needs to stop. Take
control of each of your moments. Live your possibilities
in joy and earnest.
