Fitness plateau happens sometimes and it can be incredibly frustrating when you’re not seeing any more progress with your current workout routine. It usually indicates you’re body is crying out for change, for new muscles to be activated and put to the test. Our bodies are expert adapters and will very quickly get used to repetitive movements in an attempt to conserve energy. If you’re noticing your breezing through what used to feel like a really tough class, then it’s time to try something new! That doesn’t mean you have to bid farewell to your favourite workout, but by simply incorporating one or two new ways of exercising into your schedule, you’ll not only shake off that plateau but you might also find another way of sweating that tickles your fancy.
