“When you do the same thing every day, your body becomes adapted to it. The human body is smart like that.”

Finding yourself stuck in the same exercise routine day after day? Are you getting tired of it? Achieving very little progress, if any?

I’m not surprised! When you do the same thing every day, your body becomes adapted to it. The human body is smart like that. So if you’re doing the same workout every day, not only will you be bored, you won’t see very many results.

Talk about a lose-lose situation.

“Make sure you have a plan B in case the day’s madness throws plan A out the door.”

Moment of truth. It’s a little over a week into the New Year. Whether your resolution was fitness-related or not – how are you doing? Is your New Year off to the right start, or are you starting to slip on your exercise plan?

One of the biggest barriers to exercise is time. Nowadays, everyone’s busy all the time. And it’s not our fault. Society tells us that we need to be always going, going, going. Thank goodness self-care is now entering the spotlight.

Life is so overwhelming sometimes. Every day you need to go to work, look put-together, take care of your dependents (children, furry-children, possibly other family members, or all three), eat healthy and home-cooked meals, run errands, clean the house, pay the bills, exercise, and sleep – if you even can sleep with all of this on your mind.

“But life gets in the way of most things, and with such a time-consuming weight training routine it was simply unsustainable.”

“Less is more” applies to a lot of things: rich desserts, social drinking, our friends, etc. And believe it or not, less is more when it comes to weight training too. Don’t get me wrong; bodybuilders have to spend hours in the gym performing tons of different weighted exercises. But if you’re just trying to put on a little muscle and get healthy, their technique probably isn’t for you.
