When your body doesn't seem to change no matter how much you work out, red flags should pop up! Something you are doing isn't working; think about it. Seriously reflect on your habits; exercise patterns, diet, drinking and even your stress level! These all have an impact on how your body reacts. And we are all different.
What do you want to change about your body? Do you want to lose weight, gain muscle or just tone? Are you training for a specific event? Are you retaining belly fat?
A few simple tips: If you are constantly doing the same type of training (running, walking, workouts with weights) day after day after day your body will plateau out. In other words your body gets used to your routine and doesn't have to work as hard and it will burn less calories. It's time to shock your body! Change up your routine. Do something entirely different, try Yoga, Pilates, Zumba instead of running.
If you have weight issues now is the time to ask yourself some serious questions. Do you have any health issues? Are you on any medications? What is your stress level? All these items can lead to a change in metabolism. Body type and age can also factor in to these problems. Stress affects hormone levels which change the metabolism......and that metabolism changes as we age.....and change is the optimal word here. CHANGE WHAT YOU ARE DOING!! CHANGE YOUR DIET - GET RID OF THE SUGARS, CUT YOUR ALCOHOL INTAKE AND MOST IMPORTANTLY CHANGE YOUR MIND SET!!
