The Real Deal On Plateaus

What's up everybody? Ok, so let's jump right into this. So I want to
touch on a subject that I was discussing with one of my clients and
it seems a lot of people seem to suffer from the same problem.
PLATEAUS! Ok, so let me explain what a plateau is. Basically it's when
you're working out over a period of time and your body stops changing
whether it's because of forming muscle tone or weight loss. DON'T PANIC! It
happens. Now let me explain why this is not necessarily a bad thing.
Your body is always going to tell you when you need to make a change.
I'm not going to make general statements,wait.... yes, I am. like most
people in the gym, people do the same exercises and same cardio
routine day in and day out. Here's how to fix it. Step outside your box
of monotony and do something different. For example, if you do cardio
first and then weights, switch it up! Try weights first then cardio.
Or let's say your in the gym for 60-90 mins a day. Try doing 30 mins
of weight lifting then the 30 mins of weights then another 30 mins of
cardio. Or vice versa. Here's another example, let's say that you
stick to doing lunges and squats during your leg routine. Try doing a
squat with a shoulder press or a lunge with a bicep curl. Or even a
sit-up to a jump squat. Multi-joint or compound movements are great
ways to make your routine more exciting and challenging. Also, you might
want to just try resting. Keep in mind that when working out, your
breaking down the body. Just like a engine that's been running, it's
going to be shut off and cooled off at some point. Taking a few days
break after weeks upon weeks of working out is vital to your fitness
goal. These are all little adjustments that can be done to switch up
your boring workout routine. Now obviously depending on what your
overall goal is, you can adjust the stated examples accordingly. For
those who aren't lucky enough to be trained by me or be involved in my
boot camp (info for that can be found at www.ktrain.biz, and get use to
the shameless plugs, it's my blog) switching up your routine can be a
fitness breakthrough in getting the body you want.
