Knowing when it’s time to change your workout plan can be tough: on one hand, you don’t want to flip-flop between different exercises too often, otherwise you’ll never give your body the chance to adapt and get stronger. On the other hand, there comes a time when your workouts will need a freshen up in order to encourage progress. But, how do you know when it’s time for the latter?
“I can’t tell you exactly when to switch things up, you’re going to have to pay attention to what your own body is telling you,” says Steve Chambers, gym manager and certified personal trainer at Ultimate Performance. “But, there are some telltale signs, regardless of whether you’re a novice or a pro, that will indicate when it’s time to make changes to your programme.”
