I think I found it............ atleast for myself :)
I have been power walking on my treadmil, and rotating HIIT every other day. I just don't get as tired, sweaty, exhausted any more as my endurance gets better, etc.......
So, I finally mixed it up and went to one pilates class, followed by a kick boxing class.........let me tell you......... I got my SWEAT on :)
I think it was just helpful to do something different, change the pace, etc.......
I felt like a tired lil' whimp when we were done, like I used to feel when I began my whole fitness program.
Yeah................ got me out of my rut!
Just wanted to share

How long had you just been walking and rotating HIIT every other day? If that has been your same routine for a month or two, then I would say that your body just got used to the workout. I guess it's just like shocking your muscles in weight training routines; change is good for the body =).

That's what I think anyways, I'm still new here... :big_smile: Grats on switching it up!
