Workout: Overcoming Plateaus | No comments:

Plateaus

White Woman With Tape Measure
Now I have to discuss plateaus with my crazy busy schedule!  I don't know how I can even write regularly, least of all fight against plateaus. My mom and  son take up my time, I want my workouts to be a no brainer. So my fitness trainer gave me a few tips to stay on top of plateaus. Working out can be lots of fun. To intensify your workout, you need the motivation needed to carry out your goal. We you need to adopt healthy habits. Adopting healthy habits as in keeping yourself hydrated during sessions will help. 

Water

Drinking a good amount of water is really important. For runners, incorporating hills in your sessions are a good thing. It will make your workout more effective, making you stronger and more endurable. You have successfully done all you could do get those pounds off, but suddenly the scale stops moving. Well, you may have hit that awful plateau. What is a plateau? It's when your body becomes adjusted to the routine you may have been doing for a while. Well its time to time throw a monkey wrench into your well-oiled routine and spice things up a little.

Mix-up Routines


You should mix up your routine. Doing the same thing over and over again can be boring. Choose a different place to run, or a try different exercise. For example, if you like the sight of nature, start biking or hiking. Both of them are fun and healthy exercises. Mix it up



Before or after a workout, you can drink a protein shake.  It's very important to keep a healthy diet at all cost. Cutting on fast food restaurants and junk food is very important. It will not hurt to eat junk food or go to your favorite fast food restaurant occasionally. You need to lower the amount you consume these foods. A healthy diet can include snacking on fruits or vegetables, drinking the adequate water every day and having balanced meals. Drinking water before every meal is a good way to lose weight. It is known that those who drink water before every meal saw improved weight loss results. A healthy diet means a healthy body!

1. For working out, it is good to have a workout partner. Running the streets and hiking together can always be fun. It can lead to conversation, which can be somewhat interesting. 

2. One of the ways to overcome a WEIGHT plateau is to reduce caloric intake. When you lose weight, your metabolic rate lowers. To continue losing weight, it is good to reduce your caloric intake and caloric outtake during your exercises.

  3. To motivate yourself during a workout, you should create a weight loss goal. Examples of goals are to lose a certain amount of pounds, or a weekly weight loss goal of 2 pounds a week. From personal experience, I find it most effective to simply mix up your exercises or challenge yourself to new heights. Have fun!

 A STRENGTH TRAINING plateau is different. It is caused by increased body mass, increasing your metabolic rate. If you fail to provide the necessary calories, your body will lack the necessary components to build muscle. A good way to fight this is to increase calorie intake by eating protein rich foods. Increasing lift weight and repetition sets will challenge your muscles to work harder. It is important to know the difference between a weight and strength training plateau. When you think about it, they are completely the opposite from each other.
