Avoid the plateau & change
up your exercise routine
From Ande Masoncup,
Asst. Superintendent of Rec
The change of seasons is upon us, and along with that should come changes to your exercise routine. Research has shown that adding variety to an exercise program can improve adherence and help you stay physically challenged. Many of the body's physiological systems adapt to an exercise program within approximately six to eight weeks. If you don't modify your exercise routine, you will reach a stimulus plateau because your body has adapted to the repetitive training stimulus. Simple changes like moving your exercise routine from outdoors to indoors can help eliminate that plateau. (ACE Fitness, 2011)
Below are some examples of exercise routine variety:
- Increase the intensity by adding intervals
to your walk/run
- Cross-train by performing different activities
- Change the sequence of your exercise routine
To help change up your routine, NRC has several new group fitness classes as well as new fitness programs for all abilities! Check out the Norris Recreation Center Activity Guide online, or pick up a copy at the Membership Services Desk.
