The term 'muscle confusion' has been knocking around gyms and fitness centers for some time. Some fitness fans claim it is an idea that opens up a whole new approach to exercise, while others regard it as a play on words without real meaning, or not of any real benefit.

As mankind developed over the millennia we had no need for gyms. Our superfit ancestors got more than their daily exercise fix chasing down deer, swimming rivers and hunting for nuts and berries in the forests. This is the sort of lifestyle our bodies evolved for and from.

Kids who don't lead active lives and prefer sedentary screen-time instead could be more prone to depression. That's what one study in Australia has revealed. The evidence supports ongoing research into changing lifestyles of youngsters, from young children to adolescents, and the impact this has on their health.

The big boom in personal trainers as a part of people's fitness programs over the last few years is undoubtedly a good sign. It shows that not only are people taking their exercise regimes seriously, but they're also understanding the value of personalized training.

The image of a man with rippling muscles pumping iron to let off steam is a stereotype that few people bring to mind when they think of a woman keeping fit. In the case of the female fitness fan, the old fashioned image is of a sedate lady lightly perspiring in a gentle exercise class.

We've all seen, admired and possibly resented the images on television and huge advertising hoardings. The sculptured, taut bodies of beautiful men, sporting a six pack like a rippling badge of manliness. This, according to the marketing world is what 'real men' look like.

There are so many positive reasons to hire a personal trainer that once you start entertaining the idea, it's hard to come up with valid arguments not to. In fact, you might even wonder why you've not taken on the guidance of a fitness expert already.
