Working out

asop
I've been going to a health club for 35 years now at least 3 times a week. Has become part of my life. Problem is I do the same routine every visit. "They" say one should vary the routine as muscles become used to the same old and that's not a good scenario. True?

    I feel like my body has gotten totally out of shape,
    so I got my doctor's permission to
    join a fitness club and start exercising.
    I decided to take an aerobics class for seniors.
    I bent, twisted, gyrated, jumped up and down, and perspired for an hour
    But by the time I got my gym shorts on, the class was over.

    I think it is true but what the hell I don't know nothing anyway LOL

    Either way I would say going and doing a routine for that long is commendable!

    Doing is better than not doing.

    But really you need to take a break from those Jazzercize classes...

    I believe it. Build a repitoire of excercises for your muscle group. Choose 6-7 per day. Switch it up.

    But, anything is better than nothing. I think they want this so that stability muscles still continue to strengthen from ?different? excercises and motnions.

    Very true. Muscles adapt and crave new stimulation. Doing the same exercises over and over can lead to overuse injuries. Changing the exercises, weight, rep range, and rest periods is very beneficial. I change my routine ever 6 weeks or so and have stayed healthy and fit for 20 years.
