Weekly Health Challenge

Week 9: Diversify

The more comfortable you become with a routine, exercise class, or fitness DVD, the less effective it gets. To continue to lose weight, you need to challenge your body in new ways. Even replacing one exercise can create enough of a surprise to keep results coming. Try this: The first week of every month, do a new upper-body exercise; the second week, a new lower-body one; the third, a new ab move; and the fourth, a different type of cardio (cycling instead of walking, for example).
