Keeping workouts interesting and productive for young athletes involves a mix of variety in exercises and staples. If you do brand new exercises every time you step into the gym, progress will be nonexistent. However, if you do the exact same workout it will soon become stale. One way to keep interest is to vary the set quantity and variety of exercise. For example, a bodyweight squat could progress to a kettlebell squat and then to a barbell squat. The set count changes with the season.
Key Takeaways:
- For peak performance at the right time, vary your implements, sets, and reps.
- Make a bucket that lists auxiliary movements that provide variety while still maintaining your overall training goals.
- The offseason is usually the best time to incorporate finishers into your training regimen.
“You can’t get strong if you’re performing brand new exercises every time you step inside the weight room.”
