Have you reached a fitness or weight plateau? Do you continue to exercise and seem
to get little or no results? Maybe you have reached a plateau. A plateau is only natu- Tuesdays
ral. Consider the body as a stimulus-response mechanism. The stimulus of exercise S.E.T. 8:00 am
creates the response of fitness (increased strength, weight loss, etc.). The body will
respond only so much to the same stimulus. In order to get more response (greater

and increase the exercise stimulus. Another way to accomplish this is with interval Yoga 8:30 am
