It never fails. May rolls around and most woman start scrambling to get their workouts in because the dreaded idea of getting into a swim suit is looming over them. They get discouraged and frustrated when they don’t see the results fast enough. Typically for the average person working out consistently (depending on how much they need to lose) it can take 4 weeks to a solid 3 months to see major results and body transformations. Obviously this depends on the person, but the point is it takes time.
“Your body gets used to whatever workout program you are doing in roughly 3-4 weeks, so if you don’t keep changing SOMETHING about your workouts, you may find yourself reaching what’s called a “training plateau” and stop making noticeable progress. Rule of thumb: whenever you start to get a little bored with your routine, it’s time to change things to keep it interesting and varied. If you are not getting the results you want in 6 weeks, its time to make some more dramatic changes!”
Awesome! Interesting about body getting used to a workout relatively so quick…good to know..will keep it all mixed up!!

I agree – why wait to make an investment in your health?
Trish: That’s why high intensity interval training works so well for fat loss – your intervals are always getting faster as your body adapts to the imposed demand.
