Do you ever get into working out, but reach a point when you feel like nothing’s working? (Please read details)

I’ve been working out regularly for maybe a month or so now. Not trying to lose weight, I just want to build muscle and get a bit more toned.
Lately, I finish working out feeling like I didn’t really do anything. I don’t get the soreness in the morning like i would weeks ago. It leaves me feeling very unmotivated. Does anyone have any tips on how to overcome this?
Sorry if this post doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, I don’t really know much about fitness.

Your body has become accustom to your routine ,,if you wan to feel like you did when you started you have to do more in your routine ,,,

I understand that, and I have adjusted my routine as much as I can.

@mountainman1234 yup, this too⬆️

Up the weight you lift, or increase your reps.

@KatieKatze Then I thin maybe you should speak with a qualified trainer ,,,

I don’t think it’s worth that much, I’m healthy enough that this is a hobby more than anything else. I don’t really have the means to seek out a trainer. I just wanted to come on here for possible tips and insights on how to keep motivation up throughout the process. If nothing else, it’s helpful to vent about frustrations to anyone willing to listen.

@KatieKatze @mountainman1234 has the best advice here.

Even if you have to pay for just one session, it's worth what you will learn.

Routines have no limit.
You start off lifting
X amount of weight say 10 reps, work upto 20 reps, then you increase the weight and go back to 10 reps again.
Increasing all the time.

This is just an example...

@KatieKatze Everything one does means something ,,even a Hobby ,, if you like the results you are getting then continue as you are maintenance is still needed ,, but it would not hurt to increase things jus ta bit ,,,
and agreed venting is good and there are some of us that do not mind being a sounding board ,,Take care ,,
