Doing the Same Old Fitness Routine Day In & Day Out Gets….
You guessed it!
OLD!
This is exactly what we’re going to talk about today.
It’s a proven fact that, after a certain amount of time, (usually around 4 weeks or so) a fitness routine loses it’s effectiveness.
This is why many people start out and feel great about their results, but after awhile, although still doing their exercises, they see things aren’t working as well (or at all).
You can’t do the same thing for too long or it just stops working.
Fitness Mistake: Completing the same exact routine over and over with no variation.
Tip: You Have to Mix Things Up
Vary your fitness routines. For instance if you follow the same workout plan for a month, the 2nd month try a new one. Switch things up and keep it interesting. Who says fitness has to be the boring?
Add a mixture of Circuit Training routines and Poly-metrics into your activities this will for sure spice things up a bit, sure to shock your muscles and wake them up. Muscles have a tendency of learning your rhythm and getting used to certain things. When you change routines you sort of trick them into always staying on the edge to continually change even when you are not working hard.
Incorporate a new strength routines into the program some days use weights other days use body weight resistance exercises. Make sure to focus on different body parts different days of week such as split body routines where you focus on opposite muscles for example biceps and triceps then chest and back .
Even in your eating program, you might realize that if you adding resistance training or weight lifting to your routine you will find that you might need to eat more. Sometimes when you are trimming down and stick to strict diet you could be losing out on valuable calories, which could trigger your body to retain the fat that it already has. Add more healthy calories to your meal plan lean meats, nuts, and lots of vegetables.
A couple of fitness programs that you might want to look at is Jillian Michaels Fitness Program. It comes with meal plans and new updated exercises routines that you can do at home or in the gym. The cost is monthly and less $5.00 a week to give it try. Something you should look at it if you are serious about your weight loss goals and want to avoid the plateaus.
