Boost Your Workouts with Muscle Confusion Techniques
To enhance fitness and prevent workout monotony, vary exercise routines by switching between heavier weight/fewer reps and lighter weight/higher reps. This approach stimulates different muscle groups, burns additional fat, and keeps the mind engaged. Low weight/high rep training, particularly beneficial for seniors, reduces fall and injury risks. Always consult a healthcare provider before starting.
