"You're tired of training 5-6x a week and not seeing progress. You're tired of the same cookie cutter program that leaves you feeling bored or… Like s**t.. You're tired of spinning your wheels and attempting to figure out the pieces that are missing in your program. Here are a few tips," she says. The first? "Cut the junk volume," she writes. "You'd be surprised at how much you don't need."
Track Your Workouts

She also doesn't wing it when it comes to exercise. "Track your workouts," she writes in the post. "What gets measured gets managed."
Stick to the Basics
It doesn't take a complicated workout to get into shape, according to Hunter. "Don't major in the minors," she writes. "The basics aren't always sexy, but they work."
Follow a Plan

She also maintains that Effort = Results. "Each week you're either aiming to
Do more reps, add more weight, or add more reps and more weight," she says. And, follow a plan. "Following random workouts = Exercising," she says. "Following a good program =Training towards specific goals. "This is the exact approach I use with my clients who are absolutely crushing it, seeing great results, AND feel good in and out of the gym. My clients only train 3-4x a week. They see MORE results than they used to when they were training 5-7x a week. AND they feel better outside of the gym."
Here's What She Does on a Training Day
