You Do the Same Workout Routine

Workout ruts aren’t just boring—they may be contributing to the stalled needle on your scale. Your body gets accustomed to the same ole’ same ole’, so you need to frequently change up and intensify your exercise routine to get the most from your time at the gym.

If you only do cardio, try swapping in some strength-training exercises. It sounds counterintuitive, but bulking up may help you slim down and boost metabolism. After all, a pound of muscle burns about four to six more calories a day than a pound of fat, according to the American Council on Exercise.

Alternatively, supercharge your current cardio routine by regularly inserting short sprints throughout your run. Interval training lets you increase the number of calories burned without putting in more time.
