Mixing it up

Ok, I was sitting there after completing my workout for the day and noticed something, I was not as exhausted as the first few times I completed the workout. For instance, the first time I performed this particular workout I was completely exhausted afterwards. Sweat was constantly dripping from my forehead no matter how much wiped it and I had to relax for about a couple minutes before everything felt ok again. After completing the workout now it felt as though I still had energy to blow. It dawned onto me that more than likely many other individuals were possibly encountering this same issue.

The fact of the matter is that my have grown, it has become stronger, and it is letting me know that it is time to increase the intensity. More often than the reason people don’t see the desired results is not because they are not working hard but simply that they aren’t working smart. If a person performs the same routine over an extended period of time without change, after a while they will notice that rate of change seen on their body will drastically decrease. In order to avoid this plateau effect that many people fall into, the individual must in a sense “mix it up”. The human body is unique in that whatever it learns, it is able to retain that information and change enough to reduce any stress. In order to continue to see change, individuals must in a sense “mix it up” or confuse the body to force it to continually change and become stronger.
