By introducing challenging “games” that will push them beyond their current comfort zone.

Hopefully, by the time they have reached a plateau, they will have found a personal compelling reason to lead a healthful lifestyle.

The reality is for all (that is if one doesn’t use steroids and cosmetic surgery) that we all have a genetic ceiling as far as training adaptations are concerned.

As fitness professionals we should help our clients see the need to engage in physical activity for reasons other than aesthetics.

I have them Re Set their goals and set New Ones.

I change the workout to make it more challenging and less predictable

I try to encourage them to sign up for an event of some kind, a run or walk.

I amp up their workouts just enough to get them out of their comfort zone

Change up the program or give them a different goal.

There can be many roads to a destination.

Change their program and many times I encourage them to sign up for a race so have new goals to work for. This actually helps them get out of their comfort zone and themselves harder and stay more focused to their training program.
