Walking or running at the same pace and the same length all the time isn’t going to continue to shock weight off your body. If you find that your weight loss has stalled and you are doing what you have always been doing to lose weight…it’s time to switch it up. Going for long runs are great. They should be done once or twice a week. If your goal is to run a marathon or become a better runner then do it more. Our bodies are amazing!! But part of that is that they get really good at what they do over and over. So if you do the same workouts over and over your body gets better at doing them meaning it takes less energy to do them resulting in plateauing weight loss. If your goal is to lose weight, then you need to shock your body! You need to do different workouts and use different weight. Shake it up! I am very passionate about this! Being someone that was running up to an hour a day and not losing weight…this changed my life! I now only do about 30 minutes of cardio and I’m smaller and more lean than ever!

Hey Amy!
Thanks for checking out my site, I've added you to my blog roll. 🙂
Your site is great by the way! I love the videos and all the information and tips you're providing. My exercise routine usually consists of long runs but I've been thinking of incorporating some HIIT as they seem to get me sweating more.
Hey! GREAT site here. I love that you do lots of videos! I am adding you to my blogroll right now! xoxo
Hey Girls!
