Hey! I'm a 17-year-old female, and I've just recently been told that I've reached a plateau when it comes to my diet and exercising. I was always wondering why my body just suddenly stopped losing weight, and I was told that it was because my body simply adjusted to my same old routine which prevented me from losing any fat.
So it was suggested that I start mixing up my daily exercises instead of doing the same old stuff. Problem is, I have no idea what else I can do other than what I've already BEEN doing.
My routine consists of jogging and walking, and it worked for a short while. And I'd do sit-ups, some crunches and some other toning exercises to help tone. I lost 18 lbs doing just that. But then I started swimming after I realized that my body stopped losing its weight. Unfortunately though, I really don't think that did anything other than tone my body and make me look bigger/fitter (I still have that flab).
So when it comes down to mixing up my work-outs, I'm at a stand still. What other exercises can I do to burn more calories and confuse my body? Ride a bike? Roller blade? Run faster? Lift Weights? I really just want to burn those fat calories, but not look bulky with hard muscle. Just a lean, feminine, s**y looking bod lol.
