Aerobic fitness is the key to any sustainable workout regimen and can lead to fantastic results if done properly. One of the key elements to a great aerobic fitness routine is that it not be routine. You need to change up your workout in order to keep yourself interested and also to confuse your muscle memory.
Olympic champions have their own scientific training methods these days and with the amount of competition from all over the world they need to have even the slightest edge in order to beat out their opponents.
One of the most common complaints about going to the gym that fitness gurus hear is it is so boring. There is no reason that a person should limit themselves to using the treadmill or exercise bike at the gym for their aerobic exercises. Unless you live at the North Pole, you should have decent enough weather to get out and walk or jog a few miles each day, at least three days per week. Fitness trainers tell us that muscles have memory. If you do the same exercises all the time you will get some results but not as great as if you changed up the exercises.
This is because muscles have a type of memory and will start to get used to any exercise. That is why the first time you do something it hurts the next day, but if you do it again it hurts less until eventually it stops hurting at all. You need to keep the muscles burning and hurting. If they are not hurting then your aerobic fitness routine is too predictable. You should run one day, bike the next, climb the next day, and so on.
