You don’t have to be a bodybuilder to know that it’s good to keep your body guessing if you want to lose fat over the long term. If you always do the exact same drills, you’ll find that the body gets acclamated and when that happens, it’s not burning fat the way it used to . That’s why I say you need variety in your workout. You must change to continue rapid weight loss.

You might want to discard this approach to fitness as “old school” or “mythical”, but it’s the truth. Fitness professionals accept this as a fact without questioning. This is precisely the reason that I expect you to change your routine every month. This involves adding new exercises, or doing the same exercises different ways. You can even change the order that you do your exercises in: anything to make your workout different. You can talk about this in the weight loss forum.

This is essential to your program because after a month of the same routine, you’re just spinning your wheels: going nowhere fast.You will have to discipline yourself to plan your routine every month, so what you need to do is have all your exercises ready to review so you can make your choices.

You’ll need to adjust how hard you are working too. Sometimes you’ll have to choose an easy month just to make your body wonder what’s up.

One thing that is very good to do is to break your workout into circuits by pairing up a few exercises into a mini sequence that is performed separately. This gives you more ways to change things around even when you don’t have a lot of new drills. There are thousands of exercises and variations and intensity levels that you can mix and match from month to month. Even choose some that you hate because that will keep your body guessing too. Keep changing your workouts so that you can lose 20 pounds.
