REASON WHY YOUR WORKOUT IS NOT GIVING YOU RESULTS

-you are not working hard enough... you have no idea how many people i see every day at the gym who think they are working hard, but they are really not. they are just wasting their time with toning exercises with weights that are lighter than their purse or spending too much time talking and not giving all they've got.

-you are working too hard
training to failure or performing HIIT workouts like Insanity can lead you to a plateau... fitness or fat-loss. so don't perform each set to failure and don't perform more than 3 20 min HIIT workouts a week.

-you are doing just cardio
training in a circuit is still cardio, even if you do it with weights. rest periods are there for a reason!

-you stick to the same routine
the training routine needs to be changed every 6-8 weeks... it can be small things like changing rest periods, the order of the exercises, switching from dumbbells to barbell or machine, using rest-pauses, drop sets, working in another rep range etc. you don't need to completely change your whole workout.

-you change your routine too frequently
just like our body adapts to the very same routine, it also adapts to change. that's when change becomes routine.
