“Why is it that your workouts will be really good on some days and will be lackluster on other days?” Hi Jiren, 1. Reaching a plateau or boredom Hitting a plateau in workouts can be like getting stuck in a rut. I was in such a rut too, many times. And I imagine it can make you want to give up. But don't despair! There are ways to break through a plateau and get back on track to your fitness goals. Here are a few tips: Mix things up .  Doing the same workouts over and over again is a drag, and your body snoozing zzz over them. It's time to shake things up and challenge yourself with new exercises and routines. Otherwise, your body will just say, " Yawn, I've done this before. " Increase the intensity  or duration of your workouts.  If you're not pushing yourself hard enough, your body won't have a reason to adapt and get stronger.

"Are there any negative effects of a high rep range workout?" Hi my friend, When it comes to high rep range workouts, there are a few things to keep in mind depending on our fitness goals. High rep range is defined as more than 15 reps in a set, and it's traditionally known to help us develop our strength and endurance. As we progress with our workouts and start hitting those higher rep ranges, we're essentially pushing our muscles to their limits, causing them to adapt and grow. Here are the rep ranges for different fitness goals: 1–6 reps for gaining strength 6–12 reps for hypertrophy or building muscle size. 12 reps and above for improving muscle endurance.

Slow-twitch muscle fibers are all about endurance or long-lasting energy. In comparison, fast-twitch muscle fibers give you sudden bursts of energy but get t...
