Are you going to the gym constantly without seeing any results? Fitness expert Mike Murray says that if you’re really committed to getting fit and losing weight, it’s imperative to change your workout routine every three to five weeks.

Quick Tip

Workout While Working! Sit on a stability ball while working at your desk. This will strengthen your core. Try and squeeze in shoulder presses and crunches. Also, try taking the stairs instead of the elevator. Even a few flights at a time will add up quick!
