Most people stick to workouts where they do something along the lines of 3 sets of
10-12 reps per exercise, with 2-3 minutes rest between sets. Booooorrrrring!!!!
Here are a few examples of different methods to spice up your routine.
• Try 10 sets of 3, with only 20 seconds rest between sets.
• Try using a fairly heavy weight and complete 6 sets of 6 reps, doing a 3
minute treadmill sprint between each weight lifting set.
•
Try using a near maximum weight and do 10 sets of 1 rep, with only 30
seconds rest between sets.
•
Try using a lighter than normal weight and do 1 set of 50 reps for each
exercise
•
Try a workout based on only one full body exercise, such as barbell clean &
presses or dumbbell squat & presses, and do nothing but that exercise for
an intense 20 minutes.
•
Try a workout based on all bodyweight exercises such as pushups, pull-ups,
chin-ups, dips, bodyweight squats, lunges, up and down stairs, etc.
•
Try a circuit of 12 different exercises covering the entire body without any
rest between exercises.
•
Try that same 12 exercise circuit on your subsequent workout, but do the
entire circuit in the reverse order.
•
Try your usual exercises at a faster repetition speed on one workout and
then at a super-slow speed on your next workout.
•
Try completing six 30 minute workouts one week, followed by three 1-hr
workouts the next week. This will keep your body guessing.
•
Try doing drop sets of all of your exercises, where you drop the weight
between each set and keep doing repetitions without any rest until complete
muscular fatigue (usually about 5-6 sets in a row).
There are many more ways to continue to change your training variables. This was
just a taste of your possibilities. Be creative and get results!
