Variety really is the spice of life.  This applies to your fitness routine as well as your diet.  One of the comments I hear during the fitness challenge is that people want a day off – a day with no exercise.  What we really need is a day of change.  Tired muscle groups get a rest but there is still activity and motion.  That day of change may include snow shoeing  in the woods, a yoga class or some time in a swimming pool.  Any of these activities are fun and relaxing if you are used to a typical gym routine of cardio and weights.

For those of you who just started your fitness challenge – good luck and enjoy.  For many of you at the half way point, congratulations!  I hope you are feeling energized and motivated by your efforts so far.
