Most people stick to workouts where they do something along the lines of 3 sets of 10-12 reps per exercise, with 2-3 minutes rest between sets. Booooorrrrring!!!! Here are a few examples of different methods to spice up your routine.
- Try 10 sets of 3, with only 20 seconds of rest between sets.
- Try using a fairly heavy weight and complete 6 sets of 6 reps, doing a 3 minute treadmill sprint between each weight lifting set.
- Try using a near maximum weight and do 10 sets of 1 rep, with only 30 seconds rest between sets.
- Try using lighter than normal weight and do 1 set of 50 reps for each exercise.
- Try a workout based on only one full body exercise, such as barbell clean & presses or dumbbell squat and presses, and do nothing but that exercise for an intense 20 minutes.
- Try a workout based on all bodyweight exercise such as push-ups, pull-ups, chin-ups, dips, bodyweight squats, lunges, up and down stairs, etc.
- Try a circuit of 12 different exercise covering the entire body without any rest between exercises.
- Try that same 12 exercise circuit on your subsequent workout, but do the entire circuit in the reverse order.
- Try your usual exercises at a faster repetition speed on one workout and then at a super-slow speed on the next workout.
- Try completing six 30 minute workouts one wek, followed by three 1 hour workouts the next week. This will keep your body guessing.
- Try doing drop sets of all of your exercises, where you drop the weight between each set and keep doing repetitions without any rest until complete muscular fatigue (usually 5-6 sets in a row).
There are many more ways to continue to change your training variables. These were just a taste of your possibilities. Be creative and get results.
