Putting on the Final Touches

As I said in an earlier post, this past week I started putting the final touches on this experiment by incorporating all of my previous workouts into three separate "Mix" days.

Those workouts are listed below:

Mix Day 1: mountain climbers, lunges, star jumps
Mix Day 2: one-leg, jumping jacks, diamond buddha
Mix Day 3: broad jumps, box jumps, pull-ups

I decided it was important to bring these exercises back into the fold by taking a page out of Tony Horton's book and "confusing" my muscles.


My results from the first full week of triple mix muscle confusing sets are listed below:

And this week I'll leave you with a quote from the P90X muscle confusion master himself, Tony "Don't Smash Your Face" Horton:


"If you go up and down a ladder a bunch of times, you'll get some exercise from that, but if you climb a rock wall, you're going to get a lot more. The nuances in muscle confusion is that it's multidimensional."
