What Is a Plateau and How to Overcome It
What is a 'plateau' in training? The term plateau when used in fitness terms refers to a sudden drop in noticeable results. This can be found in all forms of training from strength to cardio, even in fat loss. This is caused by the body's amazing ability of adaptation. Once it gets used to a workout, you will find it harder and harder to progress. Plateau can be caused by a number of factors, like not changing up your workout enough or not altering nutritional plans.

First off, I think kettlebells are amazing, they are a hugely versatile piece of equipment. They can be used for a range of different exercises and support the progression of many goals. If you don't know already, a kettlebell is what is in the picture above. It's cannonball shaped with a handle and has become very popular for resistance training.

Free weights are great, but they are also kinda scary. Unlike with a machine, you don't have that feeling of safety or support because there isn't anything helping you with the exercise. But free weights are a great tool to help you gain strength and overall fitness. Just to clarify free weights are anything that isn't attached to a support, things like barbells, dumbbells, and kettlebells.

Working out in your own home can be great, especially if you are just starting. Personally, I love working out at home. I have my own mini gym with only a couple of things, but I love how easy and quiet it is. Plus, I don't have to wait to use any of the equipment!!

Online Personal Training
With the online world growing massively in the past few years it makes sense that many businesses have gone online. So it only make sense for personal trainers to join in. Online personal training is just like it sounds; clients are given personalized programs for them to complete at home or in their local gyms without the trainer being present.
