THE BEST WAYS TO BOOST YOUR WORKOUT INTENSITY

Yes I know it seems that every other week I am writing about how to improve your workout and what not. If it’s true then I give no apologies because workout intensity can NEVER be over emphasized. If exercise/working out is the life’s blood of good health and fitness, then intensity is its soul! (Honestly, I am not being dramatic).

We need to work out in order to get the best out of our bodies and be at optimum health and fitness, but in order for the workout to achieve this we must work at maximum intensity. Now what is this intensity I am carping on about today? It really quite simple intensity is a mix of quality, speed, energy, effort and concentration you put into your exercises and you must maintain intensity with each rep, set, exercise and full work out to get the best results. Let me illustrate, there are two guys in the gym let’s call them Peter and Paul. Both are doing the same exercise leg squats with a barbell weighing 50kg, peter completes a set of 12 repetitions in 60 seconds drops the weight strolls around and the gym talking with friends for about 5 minutes. He comes back and repeats the same for another 2 sets and completes his exercise in 13 minutes. Paul on the other hand completes his set in 30 seconds rests for about 1 minute and goes straight to his other sets and completes the workout in 5 minutes. Who do you think exercised with the greater intensity and will get better results? I will give you a hint it isn’t peter!
