An exercise program that has VARIETY in the type and tempo of each workout will give you better results. It’s more effective to keep your body guessing and challenging yourself with new exercises and routines all the time! Don’t get into a fitness routine that never changes. We will discuss this more in the next few blogs.
CONSISTENCY is an absolute must in order to have better results and take your fitness to the next level. Wether you are a beginner or an advanced athlete, you must be consistent with your exercise in order to make a difference in your body and health.
- Do an abdominal exercise routine everyday (perform at least 3 exercises for 1-2 sets)
- Be active daily (i.e. park in the distant parking spaces, use the stairs always, sit on a ball at the desk versus a chair for at least an hour a day).
- Engage in at least 30 minutes of fitness training at least 6 days a week (boot camp, walking, biking, swimming, yoga, pilates)
- Keep variety in your program!!! If you are not getting fitness results and have not changed your exercise routine in months then you may be suffering from a plateau.
- Don’t walk everyday and nothing else! Don’t stretch everyday and nothing else! Don’t lift weights everyday and nothing else! You need to mix it up!
It’s simple, keep variety in your program and stay consistent and you will see results! It’s not a magic pill or the genius of a personal trainer that will get you results. Being consistent with fitness will result in optimal fitness gains.
