Intensity

The one thing that most people lack in their workouts is intensity. Intensity is what produces results. Short intense workouts drive hormones and hormones are the key to changing your body. If you look at the typical workout that you see most people perform in a commercial gym you will see the use of light weights and slow tempo aerobics. These activities are not going to provide you with results. There are several ways to increase the intensity of your workouts. You can manipulate the exercises, the amount of weight, the number of repetitions, the tempo of the lift, the number of sets, and the rest period. All of these variables influence the results that are created from the workout. The goal of every workout should be to perform a new best. Every time you reach a new best you are adding intensity to your workouts.
