Diversify Your Workout

Be sure to include the five key elements of fitness training:

Aerobic exercise
This would include activities such as walking, jogging, biking, swimming, aerobics, dancing, and even skipping.

Strength training
Incorporate different types of resistance such as handheld weights, resistance bands, or activities such as push ups, pull ups, and sit ups.

Core exercises
Try mixing it up with planks, crunches, and sit ups or use a fitness ball to take your core work to a new level.

Balance training
Taking a yoga class is a great way to work on balance, but even simple exercises like standing on one leg for a period of time can improve your stability.

Stretching
To maintain your flexibility use simple stretches to target each major muscle group, including your arms, shoulders, chest, abdomen, back, legs, and hips.
