So, when doing anything routinely, you're bound to hit a plateau..you have to shake things up to keep it fresh!Workouts are no different! In fact, your body grows accustomed to your routine and you may start to see results begin to wane. Also, when you are working out, you're increasing muscle and strength and so the needs of your body change. You want to make sure you are meeting your body's increasing demands! After all, you've worked for it! I have had to increase and switch up my workout; my workouts didn't feel challenging and it was becoming easy to get through. I've included my revamped work out, courtesy of bodybuilding.com's Jamie Eason.
