OUTSMART A PLATEAU
It's a common scenario: The first 10 or 20 pounds come off easily, but then the scale won't budge. Plateaus can happen in as little as 3 weeks, found Drexel University researchers. As you drop weight, your body doesn't have to work as hard simply because there is less of you to move around. That means your workouts produce smaller calorie burn. i.e., if you weigh 180 pounds and loose 35, you'll melt about 100 fewer calories in an hour-long cardio class- which can slow done further weight loss.

SIMPLE STRATEGIES:
1. Get your heart rate up
Watching TV or reading while you exercise can lower your workout intensity and your calorie burn. Instead, pay attention to your pulse. For best results, stay between 60 & 80% of your maximum heart rate. To estimate your MHR, subtract your age from 220. Then multiply your MHR by 0.6 for the lower target heart rate zone and by 0.8 for the upper end. For easier tracking, invest in a heart rate monitor.
2. Diversify
The more comfortable you become with a routine, exercise class, etc., the less effective it gets. To continue to loose weight, you need to challenge your body in new ways. Even replacing one exercise can create enough of a surprise to keep results coming.
