Workout Cliche, Change it UP!

(Cliche) Doing the same thing expecting a different result!
The old cliche stands even today for most people trying to reach a fitness goal. "I started off with a BANG and now I am not seeing results" "I want more but I can not seem to see any of the changes I thought I would".
All comes down to (Cliche) Doing the same thing expecting a different result, and getting the same or moving backwards. So, change it! Seems simple enough but if you use an online program cause it was FREE, well you get what you paid for. Or you once had a coach and now you are trying to use the old plan but different goals! What your program is lacking is creativity and type of work load to rest and then to load patterns called Periodization!. What is that? Here is the best definition I could find----
Periodization is the Systematic planning of athletic or physical training. _ The aim is to reach the best possible performance for the most important competition of the year. _ It involves progressive cycling of various aspects of a training program during a specific period. Conditioning programs can use periodization to break up the training program into an off-season, preseason, in-season and a postseason.  Periodization divides the year round condition program into phases of training which focus on different goals.
I tell my water aerobics class mostly older adults to change one thing in there routine, just one thing. You can choose but not the most challenging item. What can I change if I have limited time? How about take one day's workout totally out and replace it with something different! Adds a bit of FUN and adventure. Stimulates the mind and makes the next workout feel refreshing. Here is your chance to make a change. PTC will be holding EARLY morning workouts outside 5:00am MWF Corner of BlackBob and 143rd street in Olathe. WE start promptly weather permitting.
