Your exercise routine is so, well, routine! GenuLines has a few ideas on making it less so.
And in the process making it less likely that you’ll abandon it.
When you do the same routines with exercise, you get fewer benefits from it after a while. Your muscles get used to the routine.
And they’ll reach plateaus that are difficult to break through.
By mixing up your routines, your muscles will have new plateaus to reach and will develop faster. This is why trainers vary their clients’ exercises.
They switch up the sets of routines to keep the muscles from not getting the benefits from new exercises. Then, over time, they bring back the previous sets to once again break up the routine.
Routine exercise is still better than no exercise at all. Without exercise, your muscles will start to break down and become out of shape.
But, once you start changing your routines, your muscles will develop quicker.
Also, your mindset about exercise will stay fresh. That’s one of the best ways to keep going with it.
But, it doesn’t last forever. In fact, it should be a reminder that those muscles haven’t been getting the proper exercises.
Most people break their exercises into two major categories, cardio, and weight training. You can do cardio exercises more often than weight training. In fact, you can do cardio every day.
But work the weights every other day or every two days. The rest period gives the muscles time to rebuild.
Even though you can do cardio training every day, it is still beneficial to break up the exercises. You can do the same exercise for a few weeks and then change to something different.
Or, you can alternate between two or more cardio exercises. If you use a treadmill one day, use a cycle the next.
If you jog one day, then swim on the next day, etc. Shaking up your exercise routines will give your body the most benefits.
And you increase your chances of sticking with exercising. You’ll be happier as well as healthier because of it.
