If you are not losing weight, toning muscle or feeling more fit you may be need to make some minor adjustments to get back on track. So the next 10 tips will help you eliminate these errors and move forward again.
Our first tip has to do with the type of cardiovascular exercise you may be doing. If you do one machine all the time (i.e. treadmill, bike, elliptical) you are working a very target group of muscles and obviously you will see improvement. After a period of time, you won't make the same gains and continuing the same activity will eventually lead you to a plateau. Consider doing some other exercises that may emphasize working your legs in a different manage, creating a new overload and an increase in gains once again. You can return to your favorite machine after you have made all the gains from your new exercise but try something different from what you previously did. For example, if you tended to use the treadmill at a steady state and then moved to the exercise bike, when you return to the treadmill do intervals or hills instead of the steady state. To keep you muscles working at peak performance you must constantly challenge them but keep your changes small and cycle through many activities so they make the most impact.
