To keep your body stimulated and changing, and to avoid boredom, you’ve got to change up your routine about every 4-6 weeks.  I’ve been on a upper/lower/arm split for some time, and now I’m changing to a frontside/backside split.  For a backside workout this week I performed DB Rows/Leg machine curl superset, 5 sets x 10-12, and Assisted pullups/foam roller leg curls (ouch!) superset, 5 x 8-10.  For a frontside workout, I performed incline chest presses/front db squats superset, 5 x 8-10, and cable chest flyes/leg extension supersets, 5 x 10-12.  Change it up!

As you know, I have returned to one of my past loves: figure skating.  Shoulder, hip and back allignment are crucial to performing this sport with grace.  I was watching a new skater make attempts at backwards skating, and I wanted to go over and tell her, get those shoulders above your hips and hold your abs tight.  Ooops..sure enough, she fell.  I have had to remind myself to position my hips correctly to manage certain skate movement patterns.  Thank goodness my core is well-trained!  I almost lost balance today, but caught myself.  Yippee for me!
