💪 If you are a fitness newbie, you might be overwhelmed the first time you step into the gym. Maybe you even jump around to all the different machines every time you are there, without ever having a real routine in place. 💪 Some trainers even suggest that you SHOULD do a different workout every time. This is called muscle confusion and the goal is to avoid hitting a plateau during weight training.
