Hitting a plateau is a normal part of every program. Basically a plateau is defined as a point when you are no longer seeing progress. Most of the time this can be the result of you not doing all that you should or that it is time to take another approach to your exercise or nutritional routine. As Einstein said, “The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking that created them.” Einstein was suggesting taking a different approach, trying new exercises, stepping out of your normal routine, attempting to find a solution to the problem, and never giving up. Nutrition is an important element in every training regimen. Every training program should be made up of resistance training, aerobic conditioning, and supportive nutrition. For most people it is easy to make one or two small changes and expect big results, however, big results come from big changes. Making a change that is too big usually causes a great deal of discomfort and that is why most people feel it is easy to only take on one or two new events. As a rule they should address all elements of your program at once, but with very small goals. Even if it is necessary to take a step back in one area, it will be important to create balance and help moving forward again. It is important to remember to see all the benefits of the sacrifices made rather than allow ourselves to feel frustrated by all that we must change. If we are aware of the good that comes from our changes such as more energy, better sleep, less stress, and improved performance, then we have powerful tools to measure the success of our overall program.
