When you spend enough time in gyms, you can not help but notice the vast majority of people never gets in shape. When I say majority, I mean more than 80%. Why is that? It is certainly not the lack of time they spent working out; most of them actually appear daily.

One major factor is certainly nutrition; very often people try to out-exercise a poor diet, which simply never works.

But what strikes me even more is that these people do the same workouts for years on end. Why would your body change if it is not being challenged?

Take a look at your calves; they are not getting leaner or stronger from walking because you are using the same resistance (your bodyweight). So, if you are still using the same weights you used last year, you simply have not progressed.

Albert Einstein said: “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Unfortunately, this is what happens in every gym on the planet. Don’t be that person!! Change things up, lift heavier weights, shorten you breaks, change your grip on the bench, stance on the squat; whatever it takes challenge your body (but please, do not get on those stability balls, they of very little value).

Embrace the soreness, it means you are creating a new body!
