You never change the resistance
Once your body starts to get comfortable with a workout routine, that’s when you know it’s time to kick it up a notch. Increasing your resistance is the best way to ensure you keep progressing. Yes, you feel the burn again, but if you don’t challenge your body then you’ll risk plateauing – every weight loss nightmare. “If you’re keeping the same pace and distance your body will adapt and reduce the overall calorie burn and physical improvement,” says Halvorson. “It’s not the best bang for your buck.” As you up the resistance, make sure it’s feasible for your body to keep moving. The key to resistance is for it to feel hard but not impossible. Poor nutrition, training too hard, and not enough sleep may also put you at risk for an exercise plateau
