Muscle confusion? Muscles cannot be ‘confused’. They simply respond to electrical implules from the brain.

If you mean a workout with a large variety then there are many websites which detail lots of exercises for all parts of the body. I particularly like http://www.exrx.net/index.html

You don’t need a gym. As a triathlete, I get around to all the muscle groups without any gym equipment.

Try my typical summer weekend:

Saturday: 50 mile ride/10 mile run

Sunday: 4.5 mile run to the pool – 2 mile swim – 4.5 mile run home

The key to starting an exercise routine is to make the changes slowly. You can’t go from being sedentary to active overnight and hope to succeed. Start out by exercising 1-2 times per week and eventually moving up to 3-5 times per week. Only increase the amount of exercise you do per week when you feel ready.

Exercise routines also have to be well rounded to be successful. You need elements of flexibility, cardiovascular and strength training. You don’t need to go to the gym to get a good workout, but having access to that type of equipment is a definite plus. Flexibility isn’t very intensive and can be done on most if not all days of the week. It won’t directly help you with your goals but it will lead to better performance – it will make exercising a lot easier.

Cardio should be done 3-5 times per week while strength training should be done 2-3 times per week. The more weight you want to lose, the more you need to exercise. If this seems confusing, you can get a free personalized diet plan and workout routine at http://shtrainer.com
