Change your workout routine periodically Change your workout routine periodically
 		Save Tip

The body has the ability to quickly adapt to any routine so often times a plateau is reached and progress stops.

To bypass a plateau or avoid one, you should switch your workout style every 6-8 weeks by:

1. Changing your daily split
2. Change the exercises performed
3. Tweak rep ranges, rest time and weight to increase intensity
4. Doing all of the above
