Should You Do Same Workout Everyday?

Is it OK to do the same workout every day? In general, you don't want to do the same workout moves, activities or routines at the same intensity every day. "Our bodies are incredibly smart and they learn to adapt to stress relatively quickly," says Alissa Tucker, master trainer at AKT Studios.

How often should I change my workout routine?

“Generally, you should change your routine every six to eight weeks to allow for appropriate physiological adaptations (like changes in body composition, for example),” says trainer Rolando Garcia, E at Equinox Manager.

Should you do the same workouts every week?

There are many exercises for each muscle, so every other week or at least every 3 weeks you should pick a different exercise to do for each body part. It keeps your muscles from adapting to a single exercise and it keeps your workouts fun!
