Why It Is Important To Switch Things Up

Have you ever been so bored from a routine you just want to strangle someone just so something is different? I certainly have; I hate being bored and I hate to say this but if you're repeating a routine and it becomes stale plus you're not having fun or getting anything out of it its time to change it up man.

Changing up a routine often can be a good thing as it keeps the brain active and learning new aspects and taking on different tasks to keep things interesting. You can only stick to something for so long before you start to dread it and just end up going down a blackhole into purgatory. To keep things interesting, it is important to find what you like and what gives you benefit plus a good solid challenge to test your abilities. You don't need to be hardcore in order for things to be interesting.

That's the beauty of playing with animal exercises (specifically primate as of late), it constantly changes and because of the movements it's practically different every time. The Animal Dice Game is a prime example of constantly changing things up, working your brain like crazy while developing a physique that excels at conditioning, functional strength, agility and preparedness. You expect the unexpected and you never know what you'll come up with.

There are routines however that some people just can't let go of because of the fear of change and starting over again. We mainly fear what we don't know know and we buckle under our own set of pressure. Switching things up can be a good thing, a new experience and challenging the norm. I take pride in finding out different things, moving a certain way from a different angle and developing my body in ways I haven't found yet. I rarely ever stay with a specific routine for an extended period of time mainly because I do bored very easily and I intuitively find things to learn or go back to something I love that lays that foundation.

Never give up on your training but don't go stale either. Everything can be learned so pick your battles and find exciting adventure.
