Q: I already have a regular exercise routine, but sometimes I get bored or my weight loss stalls. What can I do when I need to energize my routine or break a plateau?
A: Completely alter your routine maybe every 12 weeks. Your muscles get used to the work; they almost "get bored” themselves. So alter the activities you are doing and change your routine relatively frequently. For example, for one month, you might run on a treadmill for 15 minutes, stretch, perform some upper body strength training, and finish. After 12 weeks, start possibly biking for 15 minutes, then a yoga class three times weekly. Then walk/run on your off days for 20-30 minutes.
