4 Reasons
you have hit a plateau
As everyone
knows when you’re try trying to lose weight your results are based on 20% of
your work outs and 80% of the food you are consuming. Below we listed the top 5
reasons you are at a current stand still.
You’re not working put hard enough. I know you may think you are working
out more than ever. You might need to switch from 3-4 days a week to 5-6 days a
week. Try to make sure you have at least 30-45 minutes of cardio in every
workout. Also you always want to incorporate strength training in every
workout. If for some reason you can do strength training make sure you do at
least 60 minutes cardio. Every work out should be at least 1-1 ½ hours long.
Also try to change up your work outs as much as possible so you can sock your
body and break that frustrating plateau.
When you eat
try to make sure you eat at the same
time every day. For example breakfast at 8:00 am snack, lunch at noon snack
and dinner at 5 or 6. Dinner can be a
real set back especially for us women so try to eat as early as possible. You
will get used to your new eating habits after a few days.
Know your calorie count. If you have a smart phone you can
download the Jillian Michael's app. It’s great and best of all it’s free. The
app will prompt you to enter your height, weight, body type etc. There is a
calorie counter in the app make sure to use it every day to keep you on track
to your goal.
Get more sleep and stress less. Sometimes we eat more during the day
when we don’t get enough sleep and we also can hold onto weight longer when we
stress out. Make sure you are getting a minimum of eight hours of sleep a night.
