"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."

​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."
