So with this question a lot of trainers will tell you that you are supposed to change up your workouts and you don't want to do the same thing over and over because your body will adapt and then you'll stop making progress. This is true but on the other hand you can also go overboard with this. If you change your workout every day, every single time and do something completely different with no rhyme or reason...that's bad. That gives you no chance to, for example, progress on a certain exercise. You can't see if your kettlebell swings are getting better or if your technique is improving. You can't see if you can do more pullups.You can't see if your squat poundage is improving or whatever you are working on. So what we actually do in the boot camps at my training studio in Sacramento is we will change the workouts up frequently so we can keep the workouts interesting , we can keep the workouts fun for our bootcampers but we also have a theme that we work with each day. So in any given week we'll alternate between a strength based day where we do heavier lifting (although we usually still have some sort of cardio element). It'll be like, you know, we're lifting heavier weights to focus on building strength those days. We'll alternate that with a conditioning day where we are doing more bodyweight based movements, we're keeping the heart rate up the entire time, we're working on stuff like cardio like running, stuff like that. We'll alternate back and forth so that, number one, people can train every day. Number two, we have sort of a general theme we're working with but it still allows you to keep making progress over time, getting better at certain exercises and working towards a specific goal. I hope that helps you with setting up and programming your workouts both keeping things interesting and continuing to make progress over time.
