I've read to change up my exercise to get over a plateau. I cross train throughout the week, but love to run. I lost 22lbs last yr but still can't get over this hump. If you have any new advice, I need it! Thanks!

  • If you keep doing what you're doing, you'll keep getting what you're getting. So switch it up!

    Exercise doesn't have to be all-or-nothing. Continue to run, continue to cross train, just do it less often. This gives you time for swimming, weight lifting, yoga, etc. My preference is to find something I haven't done before, especially something that intimidates me.

    Perhaps try to take your daily calorie average and lower it by 200 or 300. Some even find success adding 200 or 300 calories for a few days, then dropping to "bust through."

    No plateau goes on forever. This too shall pass. Don't let your mind win. Change your own mind, and the body will adapt to the change.
