Is it appropriate to stick to workout only with one sport discipline?

[Anonymous]

There are people who only workout with one and only sport discipline and they dont change routines or anything else, is that good?

I know people who run and they had been doing the sport for many years, participating in races and so on but they dont do other sport disicpline to have more variety in your workout, because they loove so much the discipline they do, they dont want to change it to another thing.

I Heard is not good as you have to make the body do different things, mix it otherwise the body gets to a plateau and stay there and you won't see results. Any truth on this?

I agree with Meggygirl... balance in life is good. If you stick to one thing, you tend to wear down certain joints faster, and don't reap the benefits of being well-rounded. You know the guys that only weight lift, and can't swim worth a damn? What good is that? Lol

Not really, but foussing on one sport will only develop the body for that sport alone. Its a choice. Look at tennis players with one muscular arm and one normal.

I've been a personal trainer for the last six years, and I can 100% vouch for mixing it up! New routines, classes and challenges keep both your body and mind active and engaged! Don't mix it up so much that you're doing things you don't enjoy.. but find a few things you like and keep them in rotation!
