Can anyone tell me how to get off this plateau?

Q: Well, I've hit it. The horrid plateau everyone warned me about. I have five exercise tapes: aerobics walk away the pounds, two Pilate’s tapes, and yoga. Every morning before breakfast, I exercise, walk and I climb the stairs to and from my apartment at least twice a day and never take elevators. I ride my exercise bike at least twice a week. I've tried mixing up the intensity and time spent doing various exercises, combining two types of workout in one day, and I change activities every day so my body won't become accustomed to one type or level of exercise.

Mozzy: I promise you. Strength training will do wonders. It is not an option anymore when trying to achieve permanent fat loss. Not only will you start losing fat again, but also after awhile, your body will start to transform. Not only will it get smaller and tighter, but you will be leaner, stronger and healthier.

Start with some dumbbell curls for the biceps. If you can easily do 12-15 reps without any burning sensation in your arms, then you need heavier weights. Also, start doing pushups, as many as you can. Alternate your arms close together, far apart, and shoulder width. Pushups are a fantastic exercise for the arms, shoulders, and chest.
