If you’ve been exercising for a while now, you may be finding that you’re not getting the results you did when you first started.
It could be because you’ve been doing the same routine for too long. After a while, your body adapts to exercise, and levels off, or plateaus, so it’s important to change things up periodically.
Sometimes, it could just be changing the intensity, or maybe changing your whole routine. For example, if you’ve been doing a cardio routine for weight loss, and you find that you’ve stopped losing weight, then look at what you are doing.
For instance, if you’re walking for 30 min., 3 times a week, then you might want to increase that to 5 times a week and add a hill climb to increase the intensity.
The other thing you should do is resistance training. Resistance training will increase your exercise intensity, and it will also start building muscle, which in turn burns more calories at rest, thereby increasing you’re your ability to lose weight.
