Shorter Workouts!
The majority of our workouts should be intense – yet brief. If our workouts are intense and long in duration, too much damage typically takes place and the recovery takes too long. If our workouts are intense, yet short in duration, adequate stimulation for adaptation takes place without wasting time, recovery is typically shorter and we’re less likely to burn-out over time.
Brief intensity, driven with purpose and good technique, produce impressive results, clearing the mind of stress and leaving us capable of recovering quickly, so that we can exercise again sooner than later, creating more positive adaptations in the long run.
Caveat: adequate recovery or lower intensity movement should be utilized between the intense bouts of exercise.
