DO I GET AN 'A' FOR EFFORT?

"How YOUR intensity matters more than anything else TRAINING wise"

Discover the secret to maximizing your fitness results in less time.... And it's not doing more training!

Shift your focus to effort and intensity during your daily training sessions. By pushing yourself to work harder and increase your training output, you can achieve impressive results. Upping your intensity not only allows for efficient workouts that stimulate muscle fibers, it enhances fat metabolising, and improves cardiovascular fitness. You can unleash the power of the "afterburn" effect, where your body continues to burn calories long after your workout is over. The most important aspect of increasing your intensity is your mental focus, discipline, and motivation with each workout you do.

This week we dive into why increasing your effort and intensity is far superior to increasing your training volume!

HOW DO I INCREASE MY EFFORT AND INTENSITY?

#1 HAVE A GOAL

Having a goal gives you more internal motivation each time you train. It can be a longer-term goal, like weight loss or competing; or it can be a daily shorter term workout goal - for example, getting 6 rounds completed in the 12-minute AMRAP workout of the day. No matter how big or small, having something to work towards is always going to increase your effort!

#2 WORKOUT BUDDY

Workout buddies can be helpful for both your effort and your accountability. And you can be the same for them! It can also be a useful bit of 'healthy' competition when it comes to training intensity each day.

#3 INCREASE WEIGHT or HIT YOUR %'s

We can often fall into the trap of choosing the same weight option for our workouts; instead some workouts are an opportunity to push our weight (as long as your form isn't sacrificed). This also applies to strength training and weightlifting - aim to consistently hit the accurate weight or %, rather than round down or do the weight that your lifting partner is.

#4 SPEED, FORM and RANGE OF MOTION

When you're training, simple changes in your approach to a workout can massively up the intensity. For example: shorter rest periods between movements, quicker transitions between movements, increasing the speed of your movement, or challenging yourself with the full range of motion, especially with gymnastics movements!
