I was working out the other day at this gym I have belonged to for about 7 years and noticed that many of the same people I have seen in this particular gym doing the same exercise for years! Some of these people I know for a fact want to see change in their bodies. But what happens when you do the SAME exercises, the SAME intensity, and the SAME tempo all the time? Nothing happens! You see, whether people have a desired goal either...more
