Intensity


It’s amazing how many people I see at the gym reading the paper, watching TV, or talking to others while working out and doing cardio. I ask myself what are their goals? What are they looking to accomplish during their time at the gym? The concept of “doing something is better than doing nothing” will not get you to where you want to be. What will? Intensity!

The concept of “you get out what you put in” does apply. If you are looking to lose weight, get fit, or be healthier, go to the gym and go for it. If you only have an hour a day to dedicate to cardio or resistance training, suck every minute from it. Start intensifying your workouts. If you are new to fitness, you should start slow and progress to higher intensity workouts. Once your body has adjusted to the demands you are placing on it, step it up.

When I work with a client, I make sure they get everything possible out of the time I spend with them. Ask yourself, do you give everything you got when you work out? At work, you work hard to move up the ranks and be successful. Do the same for your body. The next time you workout, keep your goals in mind and put the effort in that equals how bad you want to meet your goals!
