Fitness Plateu

We’ve all heard it before, I’m not getting the results I want why isn’t my workout working! What you have to understand is that your body is very smart and very adaptive. The more you punish it with the same routine its going to get used to it and program itself to that routine. The only way to see real results is to keep it on its toes by switching things up. Everyone from body builders to soccer moms have once hit a plateau in their routine. Your body works hard all day long to exude energy as well as store it, in other words it doesn’t want to lose weight.

 There are three different categories of exercise and its important to switch around to hit them all. We have Strength and Endurance which is your circuits, full body workouts, high cardio fat burning routine. Then we have hypertrophy which is simply muscle growth. Lastly Strength, this is the 1-5 rep heavy heavy weight routine to make you stronger. Ask your trainer to set up a routine and plan for you not just a workout once and done. Getting fit is a long journey its never going to happen over night or even in a week. You need to commit and understand what your getting into. Getting on the treadmill everyday for 40 minutes does not constitute a workout. You need to work your muscles in order to hit those goals and get good results.

Try that out and see how it goes, I will post a workout tomorrow based on the first exercise category on the list and then the others there after. Have a great Monday, start the week off strong and get moving!
