Tip of the Day: Go for a simple switch up, such as dumbbells versus barbells versus kettlebells versus cables. I speak a lotttt about switch ups with workouts ((probably so much that you’re expecting another switch up rant)). Seriously though…there are so many “easy” ways to keep progress moving forward and simple switch ups are one of them. For instance, take a movement from today’s workout: a shoulder press. In today’s workouts, I suggested performing the exercise with a set of dumbbells, but you could also use a barbell, a resistance band, a cable, etc. The equipment used with the same exercise does, in fact, change how the muscles and body carries out the movement; dumbbells will allow for more unilateral movement whereas a barbell will change the movement due to the nature of the fixed grip. If you’re looking for a very easy way to push through a plateau or work on progressing physically, a simple switch up like this is a great go-to!

In the words of Nike, “just do it.” I’ve slipped into a bad habit lately of opening my inbox and diving into tasks before my workout, knowing I won’t be able finish in that allotted time. It does nothing but distract me from getting pumped up to go to the gym in the morning. I needed these pants today to remind me despite all the “to-dos” on my list, my workout was important…so…just do it!
