Think about that for just a minute. Let it settle in.
If you've been doing the same routine day in and day out, year after year, wonder why you aren't getting the gains you wanted... this statement should really hit home.
For all these reasons (and this list isn't even near complete), doing something as simple as adding variety to your routine will help keep your workouts interesting and your body growing.
Then it hit me!When I found a routine I liked and stuck with it for a long period of time (2 months or more) I noticed something:
Boredom sets in
Repetitive injuries would occur more frequently
My progress slowed then stopped
Frustration sets in, they wonder why and they hit plateaus.
Would it be possible not to ever hit a plateau again'It just might be! And that should excite you. The more variety in exercises, tempos, repetition speeds you can create, the more challenging it is to you and the more progressive overload you can deliver to your body.
Here's a little test:
Do you qualify as one of these people?Don't worry, it's easy to avoid this if you simply follow this single tip:
Learn as many exercise variations as you possibly can
Why is this so important?
How can you do this?Educate yourself with as many sources as you can.
My point is...
Keep your routines interesting and you too can avoid the plateau that everybody else is going to be talking about!
