You spend hours at the gym <a href=\"https:\/\/blackhealthmatters.com\/nutrition-fitness\/fitness\/when-you-have-a-bad-run\/\">but don\u2019t see results<\/a>. You could be doing an exercise that&#8217;s just not right for your body. But a new study\u00a0shows that if you switch exercises, you&#8217;ll likely see improvement.<br \/>\n\u201cOne of the things you see when people engage in exercise training is some people respond more than others,\u201d said Michael Joyner, M.D., an exercise expert at Mayo Clinic.<br \/>\nDr. Joyner says that can be super frustrating.<br \/>\n\u201cBut, in general, if the <a href=\"https:\/\/blackhealthmatters.com\/nutrition-fitness\/fitness\/carb-up-for-endurance\/\">dose of exercise is high enough<\/a>, almost anyone will respond,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd, so, what people need to do if they\u2019re not responding is subtly change their program or try different doses of exercise.\u201d<br \/>\nDr. Joyner says the following two tips can really help: high-intensity interval training\u2014that\u2019s when you repeatedly go hard for a few minutes and then rest \u2026<br \/>\n\u201cIf you tend to be a nonresponder or having a harder time getting in shape, that\u2019s where interval training will really pay off for you,\u201d he said.<br \/>\n\u2026 and lifting to failure\u2014to where you do so many reps you can\u2019t lift any more.<br \/>\n\u201cThe other thing is to make sure that they get a high-protein meal within 30 minutes to an hour <a href=\"https:\/\/blackhealthmatters.com\/nutrition-fitness\/fitness\/are-you-making-these-post-workout-mistakes\/\">after they\u2019ve lifted<\/a>,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nTalk to your health-care provider if you\u2019re just starting an exercise program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Has this ever happened to you?
