Day 6 - Switching Up Your Routine

{!firstname_fix}

There are just 2 days left of this email series, so we wanted to be sure to talk to you 
about your routine, and when it is okay to adjust it. Just because you want to exercise 
on certain days of the week, does NOT mean there isn’t room for changes. You should 
always do what works best for you, your interests, and your schedule.


Routines Change When You Do

It is really important that you stay flexible throughout this entire process, which means 
being open to changing your routine if and when it is necessary. This doesn’t mean 
doing it differently every single week, as that might make it harder to turn it into a health 
habit. Instead, just re-visit your routine if something changes in your life. As you adapt 
and change, so will your exercise routine.


Try Different Workouts

Even though you went through the initial stage of trying different types of exercises to 
figure out what you enjoy, it is also a good idea to try others in the future. Maybe you 
have been using the elliptical and doing weight training for a few months, but you feel 
like it is getting boring. This is a good time to see if your gym has classes, try a home 
workout, or just get outside and enjoy outdoor activities.


Adjust the Days and Times

Sometimes, changing your workout routine is as simple as choosing different days or 
times. For example, if you have been working out in the morning Monday, Wednesday 
and Friday, you might skip Wednesdays and add a yoga session on Saturday. Or you 
might decide to try your workouts in the evenings instead of the morning.


Take Care of Yourself

Always keep your mental health and emotional wellbeing in check. Check in with 
yourself to ensure you are still satisfied with your exercise routine, nourish your body 
properly, and don’t overdo it.
