Have you reached a plateau?

21/02/2009 by admin.

When you follow the same exercise routine for a period of time, you tend to reach a plateau.  This is when you don’t feel you are making any gains, perhaps in terms of weight loss or fitness (or both).

What can you do about it?  Well you need to change what you are doing to cause a reaction by your body. 

Most people work to a moderate level every time they exercise.  Moderate exercise = moderate results.  You need to spend “some time” working to higher levels.  Those that are coming to boot camp will be sampling those higher levels of intensity. 

 By working at those higher levels your body is shocked into action.  You burn plenty of calories and in terms of time spent exercising gives you the most rewarding bangs for your buck.

Make sure you intersperse the high intensity with periods of low intensity.  Still continue with some moderate exercise a couple of times a week.

Seek doctor’s advice if you have not exercised for some time or are unsure whether you should embark on an exercise programme (or more intense exercise programme).
