Did you know doing the same cardio workout on your favorite machine every day loses effectiveness over time? The body is an amazing machine so it learns how to adapt to your daily activity, therefore, your workout starts to suffer. You burn less calories and tax your muscles inefficiently. It doesn’t take long for you to start questioning little to no results from your 45 minute elliptical ride five times a week.
What should you do? Vary your routines. Change how you workout on the machine by adding sprints, inclines, speed intervals, and directional changes. You can also add in strength and toning work by mixing in sessions on and off the machine. In my Cardio Directory, I have workouts designed to challenge your body in new and exciting ways. You get a mix of cardio workouts integrated with strength training, directional treadmill challenges, core and cardio fusion workouts, and total body cardio workouts that do not require equipment. These are the types of workouts that keep you off balance, challenged, and excited to hop on the machine for a big round of butt-busting cardio.
Give new workouts a try because to truly see results from your exercise routines must work hard and challenge your body in exciting ways. Get stuck in an exercise rut and you’ll get stuck on the scale.
