Looking for a sure cure for the “I’m in a rut” blues?
It’s called the 30-Day Push, and it can transform your body.
Because your body quickly habituates (translation: gets used to doing the same thing), often times you’ll need to not only do something completely different, but, do it in unconventional ways.
If you’ve been working out doing the same kinds of exercises, with the same weight and reps, then what your body could use is something completely different.
Try doing 50% fewer sets and 50% fewer exercises, but double your workout intensity. That is, spend less time working out but lift heavier weights (only after a good warm-up) during the workout.
When we say heavier, we’re not talking about an extra 5 or 10 pounds.
We are talking about using near-maximum-ability weights for fewer reps, say 3–6 reps instead of 10–12.
Be prepared to be a bit sore after each workout, but the soreness will quickly go away as your body breaks out of the rut and changes by making you stronger and firmer in areas you may have thought could not change.
The key is to use this type of training and any other different types you’d like to try for the next 30 days. Then you can go back to a maintenance program like you were on before you started the 30-Day Push.
You may find that doing the 30-Day Push every four months may be just the ticket to keep you progressing for years and years to come.
