To get the most out of your weight loss routine, variety is important but consistency is also key to your success.

In a previous article I have discussed the importance of changing your workouts regularly in order to keep getting good results, when either losing weight, building muscle or toning up.

Even though changing the variables of your exercise routine is important to its success, your workouts shouldn’t necessarily be completely different each time. Exercising randomly each workout doesn’t give you a chance to repeat and upgrade on your specific type of workout, this then doesn’t allow for your body to adapt and

upgrade on its current condition. An ideal way to plan your workouts to get great results is to mostly be consistent and to them try to gradually upgrade on components of your routine for a specific

time.

Once you have trained for this period, you should then modify your exercise variables, as I have described in the "exercise variability" article, you can then stay consistent with this new routine for somewhere between 4 and 8 weeks, again attempting to upgrade where you can. To go over how to modify your routine, you can modify the number of sets and reps of the exercises, the sequence of your exercises, the way you group exercises, the type of exercise, the number of exercises each workout, the resistance you use, the time your muscles are under tension,
the amount of stability you use, the volume of training work, recovery periods you use, movement speed, range of motion, the angle of the exercises, and changing the frequency of your workouts are some examples of ways you can modify your routine every 4-8 weeks.

Lets put this into practice, if you are working out using 10 sets of 3 reps over 6 different exercises grouped in pairs taking 30 seconds recovery between each pair and no rest within the pair. If you are doing this right, you are tracking your progress but writing down your weights, sets and reps as you progress. After about 6 weeks, you may find that you are not improving anymore with that routine so you should then start a new routine.

For your next routine you choose a 5 set of 5 reps program, this time you group your exercises using three exercises back to back (tri set or giant set). With each set you perform it with no rest between the three exercises and rest for two minutes after the tri set to fully recover and so you can complete the next set with almost full strength levels.

Here you have a couple of ideas of how you can maintain both consistency and variability in your exercise routine to optimise your results. If you want to take all the guess work out of your
