I have a Bowflex blaze and have been using it for a couple months but I have really plateau'd on it and its because I only do the same 10 exercises over and over each time. Does anyone have tips on how to switch it up, what kinds of muscle groups to exercise each time, whether to alternate between 2 different routines or say 3 or 4 different ones, etc.? I currently do

bench press
shoulder press
row
lat bar exercise
biceps
triceps
sitting ab crunch
leg press (only seems to exercise the thighs not the calves)

pretty much in that order. I have a manual liusting the 70 or so differnet exercises I can do but it doesnt mention anything about how to put a plan together that will build muscle evenly aroudn the whole body and avoid plateaus. Suggestions/help putitng osmething together?
