Maximize your time during your workout and it will break your weight loss/fat loss plateau.....how to do this?1. Get off of the weight machines! They do too much of the work for you and many of the exercises are done sitting down. You're not engaging enough muscle groups when you work out on machines.....so it means less calories burned, less muscles developed and less fat loss. Don't be afraid to try new exercises.
2. Do as many compound strength exercises (with weights or bodyweight) standing up as possible. These types of exercises work major muscle groups and many times are full-body strength exercises. Squats, deadlift, lunges, standing bentover rows, squat-to curl-to press and bench press are great examples. Full-body core exercises like planks and side planks work well also. Spend less time posing on "mirror exercises" like bicep curls, calf raises and tricep extensions.
3. You have to work with enough weight to overload your muscles and build muscle. In other words, working out with 5 pound dumbbells won't get the job done (unless you are a beginner). You don't have to "max out" during your workouts but you need to challenge your body.
4. Don't forget about full-body medicine ball exercises like chops and throws.5. Train your muscles in all 3 planes of motion. Your body is 3-D so you need to train it that way. It will also help your dynamic balance to train in all 3 planes.
