A
regular exercise routine can get boring, not only mentally but physically as
well. After doing repetitive exercises, your muscles start responding less. When
the body is not stressed, the physiological response lessons, both in strength
and aerobic capacity. The only way to abate this conundrum is to add variety to
your exercise routine at least every three to four months. From fusion fitness
classes like Koga to high intensity interval training, there are dozens of ways
to add some spice to your exercise routine. Here are some of my favorites.
- Aerial Yoga: With the fun of a soft trapeze, Aerial Yoga combines basic yoga postures with the miracles of gravity. http://www.yoga-abode.com/node/392
- Yogaeira is a fusion of yoga, capoeira and Thai bodywork. http://www.ambercampion.com/yogaeira-dynamic-release-method/
- HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is a cardiorespiratory training technique that alternates brief speed and recovery intervals to increase the overall intensity of your workout. http://www.acefitness.org/acefit/fitness-fact-article/3317/high-intensity-interval-training/

together in a unique package Koga taps into your inner being, connecting your
