Running got you down?

If running is one of your go-to exercises and you find yourself in a slump, just take a break! Not from all exercise but from running. Cycle, swim, ski or practice yoga for at least a week if not longer - with no running - then see how much better it feels to run again! Your running muscles will get a break, other muscles will get worked, and you can face your next run with a whole new attitude.

 

Action Item: Cross training is always a great idea. What other sport or activity have you been wanting to try? Give it a shot for your next workout.
