Routine can lead to plateaus, where your progress stalls due to your body adapting to the same exercises. Prevent this by incorporating variety into your workouts. Change your exercises, rep ranges, and training techniques every 6–8 weeks. For example, swap barbell squats for goblet squats or include supersets, drop sets, or high-intensity interval training (HIIT). Variety not only prevents plateaus but also keeps workouts exciting and challenging. Incorporating different training modalities, such as functional fitness or yoga, can also improve overall athleticism and reduce the risk of overuse injuries.
