Health and Diet
Be your own gardener. Unlike many exercise options, you can become involved in what youre doing, enjoy it and reap the benefits from your hard work, like bouquets of flowers or vegetables for the dinner table. It's a superb way of diverting the mind from work, family conflicts, or other issues as well as a great workout.

Fitness
To break a plateau, incorporate agility drills and speed training into your cardio workouts such as the types seen in sports training. As long as there are no physical reasons for not doing so, consider training like an athlete for a month. Even if you're training like a junior athlete it is okay at least your body is doing something its not used to doing.
