When You Plateau

Have you hit a brick wall in your workout or fitness goals?  I’ve had a frustrating last 2 weeks.  So what am I going to do about it?  Make change.  Because that’s what you have to do.  If you are stuck, make a change.  You can’t do the same things and expect to get different results.

For me I’ve been consuming 3,500 calories a day and working out one muscle group a day.  It’s worked for me, until now.  I’ve hit a plateau.  So I’m increasing my daily intake to just over 4,000 calories, and doubling my workouts.  I’ll be working out every muscle group twice a week.

Now I’m not saying this is for everyone, but what I’m saying is you know yourself, you know what your body can withstand, and what it can take.  If what you are doing isn’t working for you anymore, don’t get frustrated and quit, take on a new challenge and push yourself to new heights.

For me I love it.  It’s frustrating hitting a plateau, but it’s also exciting being faced with a new challenge. So go for it, make some changes and kick some butt.  Seriously.  Don’t wallow in defeat.
