Monthly Health Challenge ™ Change Your Fitness Routine Remember the movie Groundhog Day ? Every day TV weatherman Phil Connors (played by Bill Murray) does the exact same things. He walks the same route to work. He greets the same people. He talks about small-town weather. Every day is the same, and it’s driving him crazy. Does your exercise routine feel a little like that? You do the same exercises at the gym from week to week. You always walk the same pace and route. You do the same workout class every week. You’re active, but it’s always the same old thing. Maybe you don’t exercise at all. Either way, you’re getting the same results. Connors relives the exact same day hundreds of times in Groundhog Day. And he’s unhappy until he figures out how to change his behavior to break the cycle. He wakes up from the never-ending Groundhog Day, with a plan to live life a little differently. Are you losing interest in exercise? Are you frustrated that you’re not getting the results you want from being active?1 If you want to get fit and feel better it’s time to break the Groundhog-Day cycle. Here’s how: Take the month-long health challenge to Change Your Fitness Routine. CHALLENGE Be physically active in a variety of ways Adapt: Break the Cycle If you don’t want your fitness routine to feel like you’re living your own Groundhog Day, you need to change things up. Why? Your body is always on the lookout for homeostasis ( ho-me-oh-stay-sis) … the easiest way to support your brain, heart, lungs, muscles, and other systems. It’s a balancing act to keep things equal. Stick with the status quo (same fitness routine week after week), and your body learns a new normal. It adapts. And that’s good. But you can’t keep doing the same things expecting different results … just ask Connors. Requirements to complete this HEALTH CHALLENGE ™ 1. Reahanur Fies Rotin 2.
