Hello again!

Wow... I've really been slacking in my blog posts these few months! Well, that is because I have been basically following the same routine at the gym for the past few months. But recently, there has been a surge in new members at the gym because of a special promotion which offers new members 6 months membership at a very low price. So much new members in fact that the gym gets so crowded during peak hours (after work) that I spend a lot of time just waiting for equipment! I was never able to get a good workout as I would get warmed up, and then cool down while I have to wait to do the next exercise.

So, this week on monday, I started hitting the gym in the AM. Before I start my day at the office. Now, I work one muscle group each morning, followed by 16 minutes of HIIT, and finish up with core and stretching exercises. All packed in one intense hour.

I am already feeling the difference! A change in routine also helps break any plateaus you may currently be experiencing. So, if you feel like you are stuck in a training rut... try changing the time of your workout, from PM to AM. Or from AM to PM. The idea is to make some significant changes every 3 or 4 months and you will be able to overcome any plateau.

Happy lifting y'all!
