This is a question I am regularly asked, and like many things to do with health and fitness there is no definitive answer that works for everyone. Some people will do better changing workouts regularly, whereas others will see poor results from continual change and need to stick to the same program for a longer period of time. It all depends on the person’s goals, the objective of the workout, and the ability and skill of the person working out. Beginners will often benefit from sticking to the same program for a while and remaining consistent with the same exercises so they can learn from their mistakes. Whereas, more advanced trainers will see better results with more constant change to avoid falling into a plateau. Too much, or too little change can have a negative effect on the training results, so trying to find the perfect balance is important. In this article, I will try to explain how I know when to change the workout and some little tricks to add subtle changes to your workout without changing the whole program.

This is part two of the series of articles looking at migraines and headaches. In part one I looked closely at what are the common triggers and causes of migraine attacks are so you can begin to modify your lifestyle habits or seek help in the areas that may be contributing to your problem. If you have not read part one, make sure you go back and read that now as this will help you understand how to correctly use the various strategies we are about to discuss. In this article, we look closely at the value of exercise, diet, sleep, breathing, and your ability to control stress for preventing a migraine attack. 

Normally when I write a detailed article for my readers and subscribers to my newsletter I am trying to explain some simple exercise, nutrition, or lifestyle based solutions to a common health problem that they may be dealing with. However, with this article about migraines and headaches I feel like I pose more questions than I provide answers or solutions to, as it is such a complicated topic to discuss. Having said that, I hope by the time you have read all the information I am about to explore you may be clearer as to what factors may be causing your specific problem so you can implement the right corrective solution. This is part one of a two part series due to the amount of information I had to cover. In part two I will discuss the various things you can do to control your migraine attacks and hopefully prevent them in the future.
