Training for wellness and healthy living should be functional as well as fun...everybody likes new things...from the oldest lifter to the most hardcore lifter will lie if they say I dont love a new program even if its nit even a new one.. just something else. ..a change in pace. ..
My programs of any kind has a 6-8week lifespan. .then its time to change...
Why do I do this???
The human body is excellent at adapting. ..the body is designed to build up memory even in muscle...
The idea is to keep the body guessing. ..before the body gets a time to fully adapt to the stimuli, you chnage it uo again for 6-8 weeks.
Ways to keep it fesh....
Change program every 6-8week
Change order of program around...mix the pattern.
Change exercise order in program. .things you normally do last..now begin with that exercise.
Ad extra reps or sets to exercises. .if you normally do low reps. .now go for high reps and visa versa. .
Move away from machines and do more free weight...
These are a few ways to change the same program. ..
Ladies same applies to you...go do a step class for a month or spinning if thats not normally what you do...and the other way around...if you just do cardio or classes. .go hit the weight from time to time... nit trying to step on anybodies toes here...just saying keep it interesting and challenging...the body will thank you for it...
Keep your body guessing. ...
