If you need some motivation to stick with your workout routine this summer, a change of pace may be all you need to get going on your fitness regiment. Changing up your usual workout routine and schedule can help you get in shape and keep off those pesky pounds for good. Even if you're a cardio machine addict or kickboxing superstar at the gym, you can design a fresh new routine to make sure all your key muscle groups are getting a great workout, and you're still enjoying the experience. Here are some new fitness routines to consider this season - and beyond:

Workout #1:  Zumba!

This fast-paced Latin dance/aerobics sequence is sure to get that heart pumping and put you in a great mood. You'll learn basic Latin dance steps and burn hundreds of calories as you finish up each routine. Look for Zumba classes at your local dance school or fitness center, or pick up a Zumba DVD to get started.

Workout #2:  Tae Bo

Tae Bo is still a great workout, and now there are dozens of variations of the original workout and fresh new routines to try out. Some of the Tae Bo videos have a resistance band and weight segment that can really help you target key muscle groups; this is another great cardio activity, and a great way to workout with a motivated group of friends.

Workout #3:  Wii Fit

If you're a Wii enthusiast, the Wii Fit program is one of the latest fitness trends that will inspire you to get in shape, and have fun! From boxing to yoga, you can try dozens of fitness routines that you might never have experienced on your own. There's even a hula hooping segment - and no equipment besides your Wii Fit platform needed.

Workout #4:  Boot Camp Training

If you want a fast-paced cardio routine that will break you out of your usual workout rut, a boot camp routine may be the best match. You can enjoy a high energy circuit routine with pushups, sprints, jump rope activities, and more. Learn more about Boot Camp workouts!
