How much of a challenge do you need?

I wish I had a nickel for every time I’ve heard someone says “my workout isn’t challenging me enough”. But just how challenging do your workouts need to be. I've seen personal trainers work new clients until they are so sore they can barely move the next day. Is this really what most people should be striving for?
Whenever you start a workout program you may want to feel that your exercising is making you work a little hard, making you sweat, and making your muscles feel a little tender. You’ll probably feel parts of your body that you haven’t felt in a while, and that’s OK. But the idea that you continually need to push yourself to newer heights is not necessarily what most people want or need.
If you are trying to improve your health and change your lifestyle, in a period of maybe six months, you should be able to reach a level of health and fitness that allows your workout to be quite easy for you to accomplish on a regular basis. If you have achieved your health goals there is no need to be constantly pushing yourself harder. When you get to this point the only good reason to change your exercise routine is to keep it from becoming to boring.
So unless you want to be a bodybuilder, a marathon runner, or a mountain climber, find and exercise regiment that fits your lifestyle and helps you maintain your health and activity level and don’t worry about continually challenging yourself.
