One of the most frustrating things for people about exercise is repeating a routine for weeks or months on end without seeing results. There’s a ton of misconceptions about working out and it’s certainly one of the reasons people ultimately give up on their routines.
Here’s a typical scenario I see all the time in health clubs. People strolling through the gym doing the same three sets of ten reps on the machines they’re familiar with, maybe watch a little TV while on the elliptical, then heading for the showers. And they wonder why they’re not seeing results.

Either that or they simply would rather not put forth the effort required. If you’d consider yourself to be in the first group read on as I’ll give you some tips to help you be successful.
