Have you been doing the same workout, or a minor variation on it, for months, or even years? If so, you may notice that you are not making gains like you used to. You know what they say: “Variety is the spice of life.” That saying is especially true when it comes to the gains you want to make with your workouts. You have to add some variety to your workout routine in order to keep the gains coming. It’s time to get your muscles confused.

What Is Muscle Confusion?

You won’t have to pretend to be someone else or tell your muscles riddles to achieve muscle confusion. Besides, that would probably get you some strange looks in the weight room.

These days, core training and ab workouts are thought of as synonymous but in actuality, they are two totally different things. An ab workout is actually just a part of a core workout, which consists of a number of exercises that will tone both the upper and lower body.

The core of the body is actually the body’s center of gravity and core exercises will help to stabilize the body and the hips, giving you a much better range of movement.

A few years ago a co-worker of mine (I'll call him Ed) would come to work almost every day with hamburgers, large fries and a large soda.  Ed was overweight and would sweat profusely all the time.  He always looked tired and worn out.  Ed worked second shift so when he got to work, he'd eat before the shift started.  If Ed wasn't eating hamburgers and fries, it was some other sort of junk food.  Ed didn't eat a normal portion; it was always a large portion.

One day I told Ed, "If you keep eating like that you are asking for trouble!”  Ed made the statement, "You have to go sooner or later so I'm not worried about it!”
