It's so beneficial to add variety and different modes of exercise, since performing the same type of exercise every day can lead to overuse injuries or plateau. Recently, I've been mixing things up by rollerblading. It offers a similar cardio experience to running but with the addition of lateral movement training you don't get with running and less impact on the joints. I rollerblade using the Rollerblade Macroblade 100 Inline Skates ($350) once a week for a lighter cardio day to strengthen my legs and feel like a speed demon.
I love these rollerblades because they offer a ton of support around the foot and calf; it's like stepping into a new pair of running shoes with extra cushion. The wheels offer a smooth ride and don't allow you to feel every pebble in the road — great for anyone who is blading on the side streets!
