Workouts to Crash the Boards

It sounds like a gimmick, but mixing a little “madness” into your workout may be what you need—to shake it up, make it fresh, and push through plateaus as you work toward your spring-break body.
It’s great timing, too: Many coaches suggest changing your program every 6 to 8 weeks, challenging your muscles to get bigger and stronger with different exercises. New routines can also help maintain workout intensity—when you’re too used to the same moves, you may start to slog through each workout.
Break out of the post-resolution rut in a big way with these Elite Eight tips—exercises to add to your workout, routines to swap in, and single workouts you can try on days when you need a little boost.
This high intensity circuit routine torches fat and defines your chest, abs, and arms.
