Variety...the spice of life...and workouts?

I just finished my Turbulence Training workout for the day. It was a good workout consisting of challenging, compound exercises like single-leg squats and chin-ups.

I still get a little bored with my routines on this program. Even though I just started the advanced routine (this is my first week), all the workouts in the program follow the same basic structure. Three supersets (two exercises back to back with no rest) are performed 3 times with one minute rest between supersets. Within that structure, based on whether you are doing beginner, intermediate, or advanced, the exercises change, but the basic structure remains pretty much the same.

This probably doesn't bother most people. But I really need a lot of variety in my workouts, or I just get bored and uninspired.

I'd like y'all to let me know how you feel about this. Post your comments on this topic. Am I just too hard to please, or do any of you feel the same way and want more variations in a fitness routine?

I'm certainly looking forward to relaxing this weekend. Tomorrow is the Cross-Town Challenge: Savoy vs Centennial. My two boot camps are coming together to compete in a series of events to find out who are the fittest of the FitChicks. It will be a fun day!

By the way, if any of you are also following the Turbulence Training program, feel free to post your comments and thoughts on this blog!

Carpe Diem y'all!
