Switching it up: Why it isn’t good to always hit the gym on the same days every week

 

Are you among those who hit the gym on the same days week after week? You need to ditch this boring routine right now, and here’s why.

Many people go to the gym on pre-established days and they always follow the same workout.

These people inflexibly keep repeating the same exercises, sets and reps, and even the same weights, time after time.

 

¡Cambia tu entrenamiento! ¿Por qué no es bueno ir al gimnasio siempre los mismos días?

 

For an exercise plan to have positive effects on your body, it has to have variety. You must surprise your muscles with different weight loads and breaks. Your body has an incredible ability to adapt to exertion, and even more so if it’s sustained. That’s why you have to switch up your training, whether it’s the number of sets or reps or varying your rest periods.

For example, if you like to do cardio work but find it monotonous to do medium- to low-intensity aerobic workouts for a lengthy period of time, you can try the interval method. Get on the bike, treadmill or cardio machine you like the best, and do sets intermittently. One example can be one minute at 80% of your maximum speed, one minute of slow recovery, and so on.

In the case of weight training, you can avoid stagnation by switching the order of the days you train, as well as the order of the exercises in the session or varying the number of sets and reps.

      Hola Alberto,

      Hace unos dias publicamos un artículo que viene al hilo de lo que nos comentas. Es un plan de entrenamiento para los pectorales. Échale un vistazo, creo que te puede venir muy bien http://es.sportize.me/blog-deporte-fitness/2011/09/17/heart-stopping-pecs-4-great-exercises-for-your-chest-workout

      No obstante si te registras en la web y seleccionas el objetivo que deseas, obtendrás un plan de entrenamiento específico para ti que cubrirá tus necesidades.

      No podemos prescribirte una dieta específica, pero de manera global puedo decirte que tomes entre 5 y 6 comidas al día y que en cada una de ellas haya una proporción de proteínas, carbohidratos y grasa para que sea equilibrada.

      Un saludo.

    I used to do that, resting on Sundays. One week, I had a busy Saturday so switched my rest day and trained Sunday. My body had got so used to resting Sundays that it really struggled! I found even more curious how terribly tired and sore I felt on Monday. It is amazing how the body gets used to routine, then fights if it’s changed

    change up your workout in everyway! That includes the days u go as well as the type of workout u do, Muscles have memory and you are doing them a disservice if u constantly exercise them the same way! Changing up your exercises will jumpstart your metabolism as well as making your routine alot more interesting!

    I change the workout every time. Can’t change the days I train, as I have classes to do :)
