(EMAILWIRE.COM, March 26, 2009 ) Extreme Body Workout understands that one of the most frustrating aspects of any workout routine is hitting a plateau where the body ceases to lose weight or gain muscle mass. To help customers avoid hitting those plateaus, the company is offering free fitness tips and an explanation of muscle confusion techniques used in Tony Horton's P90x home fitness system. Muscle confusion prevents people from hitting plateaus in their fitness routines.



“Workout plateaus can happen to anybody," says Nina Bertolino, President of Extreme Body Workout. “Basically, the body adapts very well to stresses on the system, like exercise. The better shape someone is in, the quicker their body adapts. When this happens, the body tries to become more efficient with its regular routine. Muscle confusion prevents the body from being able to adapt by changing workouts regularly. If the body can't adapt and become more efficient, the workouts won't lose their effect. That's what muscle confusion and P90X do--alter workouts and intensity to avoid hitting plateaus."


Extreme Body Workout offers the following tips for implementing muscle confusion in any workout routine:



1. Vary your muscle groups. Rather than working on abs for a few days to a week, work on abs one day, legs the next, and arms after that. This not only gives each muscle group a recovery period, but the diversity will allow each workout to remain effective longer, rather than having to increase the intensity too quickly.



2. Vary the workout itself. Instead of going for a run or enduring a heavy weight training session every day, alternate routines. Fitness systems like P90X already incorporate a variety of workouts. P90X takes the user through weight training and resistance routines, yoga, kenpo, cardio, and stretching workouts.



3. Vary the intensity. Workouts don't have to be identical from one day to the next. While people commonly start small and keep increasing the intensity of workouts, a more varied approach can do a better job of keeping the body guessing. Alternate very intense workouts with less intense routines.



"The variety offered by systems like P90X do more than keep muscles confused," says Bertolino. "They also keep it interesting."
