Vanessa,

I always try to mix something new into my workouts, whether it be a supplement, an exercise, a new workout playlist on my iPod, etc.

I find that little things like these really help at times when I don't feel like heading to the gym.

Hi Vanessa,
I admire your dedication, which makes you train 5 days a week.  I'm guessing that you train the same bodyparts on the same day each week and that you have split your routine, so that each muscle group is trained once a week.  This is typical of top women bodybuilders and it is tempting to follow this program.  However, it may suit you to train your muscles more frequently, for instance by changing to 3 consecutive workout days followed by 2 rest days.  The way I split the workout was:
day 1, legs
day 2, back, biceps, abs
day3, chest, shoulders
If you set your mind to it, and cut down on rest between sets, you can get through each workout in an hour. As you can see, each muscle group will be excercised every 5th day, so it is best to put a lot of variation into the exercises each time so that the muscles are hit from different angles.  (For instance I had 3 different leg exercises, 3 different back,biceps exercises and 3 chest and shoulder exercise)
Do not worry that will be training the muscle groups too frequently, and that they will shrink due to  overuse. That is just a myth. They will continue to grow, though slowly, which is better than not growing and you "being burnt" out as you are now.  I know this sounds like a drastic change of direction, but its what you need.  It worked for me and after 5 months and definite gains in muscularity, I have moved on to a 4 day on, 2 day off split.  Hope this helps,
Mark
