No matter what weight loss program you choose, there will always be hills you need to climb and challenges that you must overcome. One of the best ways to keep those scales going down during your weight loss journey is to incorporate a technique known as "muscle confusion" into your daily workouts or exercise sessions.
This concept is mostly used by professional bodybuilders and athletes and it is based on the principle of never allowing the muscles to know what you are going to do next by alternating your exercise routine constantly. Everyone knows how important exercise is to any weight loss plan and that it's a great way to burn up those excess fat calories.
The biggest problem with exercise is that people tend to do the exact same exercises at the exact same times every day.
The body will quickly begin to adjust to your exercise routine, meaning that your body will actually start to burn less calories while you perform that particular exercise for the same amount of time. Here's where the concept of muscle confusion comes into play.
When you decide to start a new exercise program, a good tool to keep nearby is a white-board or notepad. What you need to do then, is to write down roughly 20 or so different exercises you would like to do. Each day after that, you then go to your list and pick a random and different exercise to perform.
This way, you will be using your muscles daily, but in different ways or using different muscle groups, so that no two days are the same and neither are any days of the week. Doing this will burn more calories and increase the speed at which you build new muscle.
If you can keep your muscles confused, they can never adjust to the exercises you do and will consistently burn more calories which means a smaller waist line sooner. You can use muscle confusion for just about any workout. Whether it's weight training, cardio, aerobics or even less strenuous exercises such as walking and housekeeping.
When you run out of exercises from the list you created, you can then go and write up a new, fresh list. If you choose to use some of the older ones, remember to do them at a different time and day than you did them last.
Also, you don't have to necessarily do only 1 type of exercise each day, you may choose to do 3, 4 or more during your daily workout. The whole idea is to mix it up as much as possible so that your body has no idea what exercise you are going to do next.
This method of working out is one of the most effective ways to keep your calories burning at the maximum rate. You need to remember, even though exercise is great for burning fat, it will always come down to burning and using more calories than you consume.
