It has often been said that the best workout routine is the one that you are not doing. When we design our workout programs we try to use a lot of variety. This helps to keep the workouts from being monotonous, and it constantly forces the body to adapt to a new stimulus. The other benefit of using a lot of variety is that it keeps the body away from repetitive motion injuries. One of the most common complaints that I hear out of people when they first come to me is that they are bored with their workouts because they have been doing the same thing over and over. There are several methods that we use to vary the stress put on the body. Some of the factors that we manipulate are number of reps, rest periods, number of sets, weight lifted, tempo of the lift, hand or foot position in the exercises, and the actual exercises themselves.
