I think the problem with exercise is that the body gets used to it and just wants to maintain after awhile. For example, I’m in a new town and hit the local gym and they had a type of aerobic machine I’d never used before. Day 1, I was really taxing and my heartrate went to 170. Burned 490 calories, the machine said. Day 2, my heartrate only went to 160 but calories said 504, which I doubt as the day before was much harder.
How can one make it so each time he exercises, it is taxing to the muscles and "new?"
Don’t trust what a machine say’s… there never correct!
And as far as your body getting used to exercise.. yes it’s true… that is why you must constantly change up your routine!
Example: Day 1-Kickboxing, Day 2-running, Day 3 Hikeing, Day 4, Cycleing, Day 5- take some type of high impact arobic class, Day6- swimming…. when you constantly do the same things over and over and over… your body get’s used to it and bored…. so why would it change?

When the muscles adapt to workouts the rate at which they grows slows and is known as the plateau effect. The best method to working out is muscle confusion to confuse your body to avoid the plateau effect which leads to better results and fitness. To avoid the plateau effect requires you to mix up your workouts if you repeatedly do the same thing you’re prone to the plateau effect so go on different days of the week and use different machines. If you do back and biceps on monday for a couple weeks the next month change it to back and legs and go on a wednesday or something. Basically you’re going to have to just mix up and alter your workouts otherwise overall results won’t be as good cause you’re body as adapted to your workout.

With repetition, comes efficiency. Do something enough times and your body gets better doing it…plain and simple. This is commonly known to bodybuilders as a "plateau."
Want to max your heart rate and lose TONS of calories? Invest in a good road bike. Put a cycle computer that reads heart rate and cadence(pedaling efficiency/RPM) and I guarantee you’ll be panting after each ride…especially after increasing miles and start climbing hills!

Dedicated road cyclist. Went from 40 waist, to 29…all from riding. I lost my barrel gut and traded it for a six-pack. I cannot complain…the ladies also agree!

1) Use a heartrate monitor
2) Use a pedometer
Both of these can help to tell you how much energy you have burned, my brother has one of those bikes from the usa that costs over $6K and has upgraded since then, he used to ride to my place for some fresh water and I remember once asking if he and his wife would like to come over for a roast dinner on the sunday night and his heart rate went from 67 to 120, I think he likes my roast dinners, fat free of course also, you are right about you’re body getting used to the regimen so its best to alternate your exercises and use one method each day

My experience with treadmill is that your muscular system , heart and body as whole get used to the exercises if you do not make variations. You should "confuse" your systems by changing speed , slope and other possible parameters. It is experience of many that once you switch over to different kind of exercises , for same workload your systems wold react differently initially till they get used to it.
