Running is a great form of exercise, but you don't want to get stuck in a rut of hopping on the treadmill every time you go to work out. Make a pact with yourself to include at least three different types of cardio throughout your week. Run on Mondays, swim on Tuesdays, run on Wednesday, play a friend in a tennis match on Thursday, jog around the park on Friday, and Saturday or Sunday go for a bike ride. There are so many ways you can move your body, and not only will mixing up your cardio help prevent injury, but you'll end up becoming stronger overall.
Play With Your Sequencing
You may have learned a certain group of strength-training exercises and are in the habit of doing them in the same sequence every time so you don't leave one out. If you're always doing your exercises in the same order, your muscles will become efficient at doing them, and you'll be more likely to reach a plateau. You'll get more out of your strength-training sessions if you mix the sequence up, because it'll fatigue your muscles in a different order and help you to become stronger.
