Episode 3452: Dr. Neal explains that hitting a fitness plateau doesn't mean you need to keep adding more time or volume to your workouts. By making strategic changes, such as altering exercise order, adjusting repetitions and rest periods, adding resistance, or using microcycles, you can challenge your body in new ways and continue making progress efficiently. Quotes to ponder: "The trick is to change something. It doesn’t have to be a major change." "Microcycles are basically 2 to 4 week periods of similar workouts but increasing the intensity from one workout to the next." "One of the easiest things you can do is to switch the order of your exercises." Episode references: American College of Sports Medicine: https://www.acsm.org/ Learn more about your ad choices.
