Break through the plateau

Are you stuck in a workout plateau and not seeing results?

Bust out of it by switching up your workout routine. When under stress, your body works hard to try and make the motion easier. Once the current workout routine has been mastered, it needs to be challenged in order to grow. It doesn't like to do the same routine too many times. The body is just too smart for that.

To excel and get the most out of your workouts, it's important to keep your muscles guessing and to always challenge it in new ways. The idea is to confuse the muscles, which will keep the body from adapting to any set routine or exercise scheme, therefore guaranteeing greater strength gains. Try different moves, varying the intensity of your workouts and number of reps.

My personal favorite way is to try something you have never done before - whether it's a thai boxing class, spinning, boot camp, rock climbing, or a new sport, not only will you work new muscles, it'll keep things fresh and you'll have fun doing it.
