The muscle confusion part is a gimmick term. The exercises are involving the same motions with varying degrees of intensity. For example there 5 different kinds of push ups the motions are the same (up and down) but each move puts more emphasis on either your chest, triceps, shoulders or back all depending on your hand placement and the angle you are working the muscle. Also the plan changes every 4 weeks I think that is also included in the muscle confusion philosophy. P90X is a really good workout. Steve Hey Mario,

"The secret behind the P90X system is an advanced training technique called "Muscle Confusion"" Now you see, i personally don't believe you can confuse muscle. because ultimately, exercises of a specific body part have one main type of motion. lets take biceps for example. you can do the standing bicep curl one day, and then do the preacher curl another day. but whats the point? i mean, in the end your arms are going through the same motion. so how on earth are you confusing your muscle? same goes for triceps. you can do skull crushers one day and do tricep extentions the next. but the motion is still the same. i'm not saying the P90X sucks or anything. heck its probably a great workout. but the muscle confusion part is rubbish. the purpose of doing different exercises is simply to avoid boredom. i think they are just using this mucle confusion thing to entice people into buying it, because its an apparently new concept, when its actually a concept which is non-existant. hope this helps in some way. cheers, mario. hey steve. i wasnt aware of P90X. so i did a bit of research.

I'm doing P90X and it's based on similar principals but more intense. Body weight and a quick pace are pretty effective. How do you feel about P90X? Steve Sounds like a simple plan and easy to apply.

I used to do a lot of that in school. We used to set up 'stations' - at each station a different exercise would be done. Then we split into teams and each team would take a different station. Once on the station, everyone had to do the exercise for the station. Then we'd rotate. Everybody always tried to do his set as fast as possible to outrun those on other stations - lots of good laugh. good post :) That is a really good overall fitness and strength training to play with kids.
