Hey everyone. Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. Over the last couple of days I haven't been feeling too motivated to hit the gym. Although I've been going almost daily, my mind isn't always with me at the gym, and I'm beginning to plateau. I haven't lost any more weight in two weeks, and now I'm back to research plateauing in terms of working out, and how I can help change it.
Essentially, what I've found is stuff I already know: The more of the same movement or exercise one does, the more their body acclimates to it, using less energy to do it the better one gets and therefore burning less calories. But it seems too simple to just say that I need to change up my workout routine again. Also, how? Island health at Community Corners is tiny gym with limited offering of classes and machines, so what else can I do? It may be time to incorporate running or jogging back into my life. I can also starting using the FITT Principle, something we learn in P.E. FITT stands for Frequency, Intensity, Type (of workout) and Time (length of workout). I think following these guidelines will really push me to shed these last nine pounds to reach my WISE goal, and I want to get going on that soon. For now, here's the article I found!:
