The basic principals of exercise always stay the same: Move your body, break down and rebuild muscle fibers, burn more calories than you take in. Bing, bang, boom: You lose weight and get fit. But the options for how you decide to exercise are always changing—and that’s good news for anyone struggling to find the perfect workout. It really is important to find a program that fits into your lifestyle, and not one where your lifestyle has to fit into someone else’s program. Even then, you can benefit from something new. If you do the same routine over and over again, it gets a little boring and you plateau. If a routine becomes too repetitive, your body adjusts by burning fewer calories. It’s important that you’re able to find and try different things. With that in mind, here is a multi joint, multi muscle exercises to add to any workout from my H.I.G.T program to give your routine a boost.
