You\u2019d perform one set of squats\u2014and bam! Glutes for days.<\/p>\n<p>But that\u2019s not how the human body works. In fact, it can take months to begin to see significant change in muscle size after starting a new workout plan.<\/p>\n<p>And, when it comes to fat loss, most experts recommend aiming for just a pound or two per week. Otherwise, you may lose weight from breaking down hard-earned muscle.<\/p>\n<p>Still, at one point or another, every gym-goer has felt like they were getting zilch from their workout.<\/p>\n<p>Sound familiar?

For instance, if you want to build muscle and strength, the majority of your workout days should involve weight lifting.<\/p>\n<p><a

wild card days in which you hit up spin or try out new activities. The balance will prevent boredom without stalling your gains.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>2. You Perform The Same Workout Every. Single. Day.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>On the flip side, some people like to stick with the exact same workout every time they hit the gym\u2014and for months on end. No bueno. When you stress your body with a new workout, it adapts. Each time you perform that workout, you keep adapting\u2014until it\u2019s no longer a challenge. Your muscles say, \u201cdon\u2019t worry, I\u2019ve got this,\u201d and then your fitness plateaus, Donavanik says.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, as your body adapts, it also becomes more efficient at that given workout, meaning you burn fewer calories running a 10-minute mile in week four of your running plan than you did in week one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Get results: <\/strong>Add variety without losing the consistency you love with the FIIT principle. Change one to two of the following workout variables every three to four weeks: Frequency (how often you perform a given workout), Intensity (your rate of perceived exertion or resistance level used), Time (duration of the workout), and Type (exercises contained in that workout), Donavanik says.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, if you\u2019ve been performing a workout with a protocol of three sets of 10 reps or a work-to-rest ratio of 4:1, you could perform the same one using four sets of six reps or a 3:1 work-to-rest ratio.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>3. You Avoid Carbs<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Protein tends to get the workout results glory, and for good reason, but carbohydrates shouldn\u2019t go untouched, says <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ericasuter.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Erica Suter<\/a>, M.S., C.S.C.S., a Maryland-based trainer and strength coach.<\/p>\n<p>After all, insulin, which your body releases when you eat carbs, helps the amino acids from protein make their way into your muscles, according to research published in the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/jissn.biomedcentral.com\/articles\/10.1186\/1550-2783-10-42\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Plus, glycogen (carbohydrates stored in your muscles and liver) is your body\u2019s primary energy source for high-intensity exercise. To get max results, you need to fuel for max performance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Get results:<\/strong> \u201cIn order to reap the benefits of a strength training or conditioning session, it&#8217;s critical to nourish your body post-workout,\u201d Suter says.<\/p>\n<!-- Shortcode [rr-products] does not match the conditions -->\n<p>By following your workouts with a snack or meal that contains a roughly 4:1 ratio of carbs to protein, like chocolate milk, apple and string cheese, or peanut butter sandwich, you will replete your body\u2019s glycogen stores while helping your body more efficiently build the metabolism-revving muscle you just sweat for.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>4. You\u2019re Over-Stressing Your Body<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s important to remember that, similar to work deadlines, unhealthy foods, and lack of sleep, exercise is a stress to your body.<\/p>\n<p>Too much cumulative stress puts your body into a catabolic state, meaning that you break down muscle rather than building it and store fat rather than burning it, Donavanik says.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Get results: <\/strong>Sometimes, reducing your overall stress\u2014even if that includes temporarily dialing down your workout volume\u2014can help you get more out of the minutes you do log in the gym, he says.<\/p>\n<p>However, before automatically cutting back on your workouts, consider what the biggest stressor to your mind and body really is\u2014and work to mediate it.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>5. You Overestimate How Many Calories You\u2019re Burning<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Most exercisers have little idea how many cals they actually burn during their workouts. (After all, on average, fitness trackers overestimate caloric expenditure by 10 to 15 percent, according to a 2014 <em><a href=\"http:\/\/journals.lww.com\/acsm-msse\/Citation\/2014\/10000\/Validity_of_24_h_Physical_Activity_Recall__.18.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Medicine &amp; Science in Sports &amp; Exercise<\/a> <\/em>study.)<\/p>\n<p>Paired with an \u201cI\u2019ve earned that cookie\u201d mindset, overestimating your daily caloric burn can easily translate into a caloric surplus and weight gained, not lost, Donavanik says.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Get results:<\/strong> Pay less attention to calories in and out and more attention to your body\u2019s hunger cues.<\/p>\n<p>Begin eating when you are slightly hungry, stop when you are slightly satisfied, and you will find that you will more naturally achieve the nutritional balance needed to get the most out of your workouts.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>6. You&#8217;re Not Challenging Yourself Enough In The Gym<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>\u201cUpon starting a workout program, it&#8217;s totally fine to go through the motions and learn basic movement patterns so you don&#8217;t butcher form,\u201d Suter says. \u201cHowever, once you have at least a month under your belt, it\u2019s time to get comfortable with being uncomfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Your body cannot build more muscle tissue, improve your cardiovascular power, or increase your endurance unless your workout stimulus is greater than what it can easily handle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Get results:<\/strong> Increase your workout intensity! When running, cycling, or performing other cardio workouts, that generally means increasing speed.<\/p>\n<p>When performing resistance exercise, that means going heavy, Suter says. Decrease your reps, use heavier weights, and give yourself enough rest between sets that you are just able to eek out your last rep with proper form.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Diggin\u2019 What\u2019s Good?
