Time Change Could Mean Workout Change Also

BY DISH CONTRIBUTOR CARI SHOEMATE:

Spring is here again and this is the perfect time to reevaluate your workout routine! Many of you probably made resolutions or set some goals at the beginning of the year and now it's time to ask yourself if you are happy with your results. If you aren't...it's probably because you didn't have a good plan or maybe you did but just didn't stick with it. One of the main reasons people don't stick to their workouts is because they get bored or aren't excited to do them.
Also, after a certain period of time your body gets used to those same movements and weights you are using every week and you will stop seeing results. The solution is to change things up! This is always a good idea and I recommend making some sort of major change every 3-6 months and minor changes every 2-3 weeks. For major changes that could mean changing gyms or doing your workouts in a new place. If you have nice weather, take advantage of it and do some of your workouts outside! A change of scenery (indoors or out) can do wonders for you workouts.
Another big change you can make are trying a different workout time and make sure to fit it in your schedule. Or, try a new workout partner. If you are happy with all of those elements, then try making some small, minor changes every few weeks to spice things up. Try a new class at your gym, try a new technique like drop-sets, use cross-training or buy an interval timer. Remember that change is good and its necessary if you want to grow and strengthen both your mind and body!
