I always get asked what is the best piece of equipment is best or what is exercise is best...

For beginners I always tell them that it is the machine or exercise you can push yourself the hardest on and build a sweat. For some they have the muscle memory of riding a bike from their childhood and can rekindle that so the exercise bike is best and they can get a good sweat going. For those who never rode a bike in their lives that is definitely not the best for them. Maybe you swam as a kid and swimming might be best for you. If you're going to walk or run, I wouldn't suggest doing it on concrete (tougher on the knees), but a track treadmill or hike might be awesome!

For people in the intermediate and advanced levels, I would tell them to diversify. Don't let your body get used to the same routine every day. You body does become more efficient and over time burns less energy for the same amount of work. Through your body some curve balls every now and then. If it's easy start amping it up! Play a new sport. Do and interval workout. Join a different class.

I feel like I'm in pretty good shape but I went snowboarding yesterday... and y'all know I'm from Texas so you know snow is not native to Texas. I am sore in places I never use in my regular workouts.

Build a base, then start expanding on it!

These are good points. I think it is key to not do the same aerobic exercises over and over again. You need to change it up throughout the week. It also helps to change up the time of day at which you do you aerobic exercises and weight lifting exercises. Your body can get used to a certain time and it's good to change up your body's routine.

Hi Y's Guy,
Bike and exercise routine info was new for me. I never has this experience as I started riding my tricycle when I was 3 years old.
And in gym I change my exercise daily, thanks for sharing the reason behind it.
