It may be comfortable to slip into the same routine and go through the motions without much thought, but according to Pire, if you never change up your workout, your body will reach a plateau, minimizing results. “If you are getting good results from the same exercises over an extended period of time, great!” Pire says. “Keep (what some of us call) your ‘mother exercise,’ typically a compound movement like a squat, deadlift or bench press, and vary your additional or supporting cast of exercises.” For example, do squats every workout, but do lunges one day, step-ups the next, Romanian deadlifts the next and lower-body plyometric movements the workout after that. “You should also vary the weight and tempo of the exercise for additional training stimulus,” Pire says.
