Be honest. How OFTEN do you change up your exercise routines?
Is your answer...every few months?
Is your answer...NEVER?
If you want continuous results and especially if you want to burn fat you have to change your rountine every 4-8 weeks. (This applies to those who have been only training for six months. When you first begin to exercise your body needs time to learn proper exercise technique.)
Ok, Ok I’ll change but why?
Well first your body is smart and adapts really easily. An exercise routine will only work for a short period of time before your body catches on and progress stops. To make sure you don’t plateu do something your body isn’t accustomed to. When your body becomes so energy-efficient performing the usual activity you will actually burn less calories than when you first started the routine.
Here is an example of how to mix your cardio up. I suggest doing something new every 2 weeks.
===========================
Week 3 to 4 - Jump Rope
Week 5 to 6 - Plyometrics
Week 7 to 8 - Sprints

It's insanity to do the same thing over and over and expect results.
Change your routine often to keep making progress.
