Actually, "muscle confusion" is a myth. As you get stronger/fitter, you need to increase intensity, whether it be by lifting more, running faster, etc. There is no need to change the exercises or the time you spend doing them.
In the case of this 7 Minute Workout, just keep going harder - add a weight belt, incline the pushups and work towards full handstand pushups, etc.

Incline pushups are a different exercise. So are handstand pushups. Also there is some limit that you will reach if you go balls to the wall for 7 minutes as it relates to intensity. Increasing time at the same level of intensity necessarily means you do more work and get more benefit. You can't increase intensity doing the same exercises all the time as there is a finite limit of how much stuff you can do in 7 minutes.
- solarmist 13y agoYes, muscle confusion is a myth, but progressive resistance isn't, and I think that's what he's getting at.
