Working out is one of the best ways you can help your body meet its fitness goals. However, unless you change up your workout routine every few weeks, your efforts can easily grow stale and you may not experience the true benefits of a healthy workout routine.
At Lift House Fitness, we use our small group classes and personal training sessions to help you keep workouts, fresh, fun, and most importantly, effective. Here’s a closer look at why we like to mix up our approach to our client’s workout routines.
Change Creates Mental Motivation
Working out to the same routine week after week not only becomes monotonous but also ineffective. Once your body plateaus and you stop seeing weight loss or other progress, you start to lose the mental willpower to continue your fitness journey.
Changing your exercise routine every few weeks keeps your workouts exciting and effective, while also keeping your head in the game.
You Can Overuse Your Muscles
Exercising the same muscles every workout can lead to overuse that results in workout injuries that can discourage you from even returning to a gym. Repetitive strain injuries can be painful and damaging in the long term.
So, keep your workouts feeling like new, allowing your used muscles to recover, repair, and eventually grow like you want them to.
Variance Helps Create Progress
Not only can using the same workouts day in and day out create repetitive strain injuries, but they can create the dreaded plateau that all people working out for weight loss or growth want to avoid.
Using the same movements, at the same weight, on a regular schedule can keep you in shape, but eventually, your body will adapt to the repetition and progress will halt.
Aside from giving your muscles a break, adding variance and continuing to adjust the amount of weight used during a strength-based workout shakes up the muscle memory in your body and can help continue progress towards your final goal.
New Workout Routines Can Lead to Total Health Benefits
Giving your body a multitude of different workouts can be a massive gift to your health. When you work out different areas of your body with new movements you’ll not only witness progress (i.e. weight loss and muscle growth), but you will also build up a stronger heart that gives you the endurance you need to make it through any physical activity that comes your way.
You Can Meet New Workout Partners
Everyone has a different focus on their fitness journey, and most people don’t like to take this trip on their own. Changing your workout routine via signing up for multiple small group classes can lead to you meeting new friends with similar fitness goals.
This may seem like a minor reason to mix up your process, but the reality is that when you stay in touch with like-minded people, you’ll remain motivated to continue working out and you’ll have a crew of friends in your corner holding you accountable.
