Many people try to find a single fitness routine that works for them and stick to it, but variety is the key to success. According to a recent study, you should mix things by doing at least two different types of physical activity per month.
A study conducted by NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing shows that people who try two or more different workout routines throughout the month are more likely to reach their fitness goals, and concluded that active adults are more likely to engage in several different types of psychical activity.
When it comes to the most popular workouts among the study participants, walking, cycling, dancing, working out on a treadmill, and weightlifting led the way. The most active adults participated in up to five different activities per month.
This isn’t the first study that concluded that adding variety to your workouts can yield better results. Back in 2000, a study conducted by the University of Florida came to a conclusion that people with a varied exercise program were 63% more likely to stick to their routine because having variety in your workout routine increases enjoyment and motivation.
