Workout Rut?

Okay I'm really confused everything I read says to make sure your changing your workout to avoid getting into a rut... but what if you like a rut?

I've always hated starting an excercise program cause I don't know what I'm doing. I don't feel comfortable doing the excercises. I don't feel like I'm properly working out until I've done it a few times and gotten my rhythm. I know by switching I can work new and different muscle groups but is there really anything wrong with a rut?

My current rut is 32 minutes on my elliptical, I change the program, the speed and intensity based on how much energy I have but every day I stick to the 32 minutes on the elliptical. Followed by a Abs forcused Pilates DVD which takes me close to 30 minutes to complete.

I used to do one or the other but found my Abs looked great with just Pilates but the weight wouldn't come off, and the weight came off with the Elliptical but my Abs got flabby... anyways do I need to add in, like strength training to change things up. And if so how do I know I'm doing the excercises correctly?
