4. To break a plateau, you need to shock your body
by switching the routine up a bit. A new exercise, new form of cardio, different strength training routine. It's all about the shock.

Also, weigh yourself once a week, max. Same time of each same day. For example, every Monday morning, first thing. The scale largely lies on a daily basis.
