Why complete a variety of exercises when working out?

[DavideFitbit]

Hi everyone! 

This is something more difficult to understand when we're just getting started with a routine or with our fitness journey. By creating variation and changing exercises in your routine, you can create a new stimulus, which creates more progress over time. It's also helpful to prevent injuries. 

What do you think are the benefits of or the importance of variety in creating your exercise program and how much variation have you included in your routine? Feel free to share your thoughts and experience.

Definitely really important for me to have variety. I tend to injure myself if I repeat the same movements too frequently. So I change things around as often as I can

It's a great tip, @NellyG! I've made the mistake in the past to repeat the same exercise way too many times and got very close to having an injury. It's definitely beneficial to have some variety. 😁
