You watch Biggest Loser, see them running the treadmill, sweating away pounds. You run 3-4 times a week and eat foods they advertise, Subway, Jenny-O, etc. And yet, your weight barely changes or remains the same. What&#8217;s missing? Variety!<\/p>\n<p>Do you watch ALL of the show. They do more than just run. Running on the treadmill 3-7 times a week is better than doing nothing. And if you enjoy it, even better. You&#8217;ll be in better shape, feel better, and over time should get better at running. But, changes in your body will slow down or stop. You can&#8217;t do the same thing continuously and expect results. Your body gets used to what you&#8217;re doing and plateaus. Mix it up, keep your body guessing, throw different things at it. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153For things to change, you have to change.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d ~ Jim Rohn.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of running 5 days a week, run 2-3 days and do strength workouts 2-3 days. Start small, make up a routine, write it down, keep track of your progress, and do more each time. Increase daily or weekly. Do push-ups, squats, lunges, dips. Get a few dumbbells or bands, and do a variety of weight exercises..curls, presses, etc. Do this for 1-2 months, then change it up\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6don&#8217;t get in a rut. If you can do your workouts in your sleep, because you have it memorized, it&#8217;s time to change it up.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/howtobefit.com\/coach-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Transform.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: right; padding-top: 0px; border-width: 0px;\" title=\"Transform\" src=\"http:\/\/howtobefit.com\/coach-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Transform_thumb.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Transform\" width=\"362\" height=\"240\" align=\"right\" \/><\/a>For me, I&#8217;m NOT a good planner when it comes to exercise.
