Vary your workouts
If you continually do the same exercises and training programmes, your body moves onto ‘auto-pilot’ and reaches a plateau, where you cease to progress. By varying the type, duration and intensity of exercise, it will demand more of your body, not allowing it to reach your ‘auto-pilot’ mode and producing better results.
Give yourself time to recover
Your body only repairs and builds, when you rest. It is vital that you allow your body to recover after exercising, by ensuring that you get a good 8hrs sleep. By giving yourself time to rest and repair, you will feel stronger, fitter and more motivated for your next training session.
Listen to your body
Your body will tell you if you are over-training. If you feel irritable, lose your appetite, are not sleeping well or lack energy when you’re training; your body wants a day-off from exercise……so listen to it! It will thank you for it!
