Have you reached a point in your workout regiment where you feel like you're busting your ass but not seeing the results you want? What you are experiencing is a plateau. Your body has gotten used to your routine and is no longer responding in a desired manner. To you I say this, "If it doesn't CHALLENGE you it doesn't CHANGE you! This statement holds especially true when concerning exercise and weight loss. To fight through this plateau you will need to make changes to your workout regiment. Now these changes can include longer stints during your cardio workouts, more reps or sets added to your resistance training, added weight to your lifts, or even a completely different workout routine. Your body responds best to being challenged and shocked, which is why you most likely experienced early success when you began your routine. But as you continue to improve your fitness level you must continue to keep your body guessing and in a state of shock. So as you progress so should the difficulty of your workout routine.
