Varying your activities or cross-training is important to avoid or break through a plateau. While cross-training the type of activity is often recommended, it is also important to cross-train the intensity of your workouts.
Specify different days of the week as low, moderate or high-intensity days.
- Try interval training work at a low intensity for a couple of minutes and increase to a high intensity for a couple of minutes, and repeat.
If you use a heart rate monitor, be sure your average heart rate for your exercise sessions vary from day to day.
