Q:
How often should I change my workout?

Think back over the last 30 days. “It’s time to switch things when you lose motivation or if your lifts have not increased for four weeks,” says Bret Contreras, a certified strength and condition specialist in the US. The key is to make subtle changes. This will ensure that your strength and coordination continue to improve, he says. For example, change your grip, substitute dumbbells for barbells or adjust the number of reps. By varying your movement patterns slightly, you can spark continuous gains.
