Save Tip

do you want to see continued improvement in your fitness? stupid question i guess. who is going to say no to that question?! you can shock your body and make it adapt by continuously changing your workouts. try changing what body parts you work out together/ exercises/ wts and reps/ types of cardio/ or all the above. everyone can be guilty of getting comfortable in a workout routine, but your body will get used to it to and will become acclimated, hence no improvement. surprise the hell out of it! you will enjoy it mentally, and you will definitely see/feel the difference in your body. i had been on a 3 day on/ 1 day rest resistance schedule using primarily the treadmill for cardio recently. yesterday, i switched to a 2 day on/ 1 day off (push muscles one day/ pull the next), combining totally different body parts and tried swimming for my cardio. WOW! i felt the difference immediately afterwards, and even more so today. i'll do this routine for a couple of weeks, then change things up again. Give it a shot!

jillybean Thanks for the advice. The same routine tends to get boring after too long.
