Exercise – not one size fits all!

As we know everybody is unique and we all respond to different things in different ways. The same is true with us and exercise. Even though we know that exercise is good for all of us it does not mean that all exercises will affect us in the same way. Everyone may have a different individual response to a particular type of exercise and may be why you are not achieving the goals you set for yourself even though you have put in the time and effort. The reason may be because of your individual response to the particular exercise. If you are used to doing endurance activities such as running try switching it up and try a different type of exercise, perhaps High Intensity Interval Training. Not happy with your power output from your High Intensity Interval Training program? Switch up your routine to include some Resistance Training.

Of course it takes time for your body to adapt to exercises so do not give up on an exercise right away. Every few months you can switch it up and see what type of exercise you and your body respond best to. If you need help creating a new exercise program that is challenging to you, you can seek help from one of our practitioners at Form and Function.
