Push Yourself

The worst program done with intensity is better than a great program done with no intensity. Intensity is one of the keys to changing your physique and your health. In order to up the intensity of your workouts you can increase the weight, decrease your rest period, or do more reps. One thing that I have noticed is that the clients we have who push themselves to their limits always get better results than the clients who stop when things get a little challenging. The ability to keep going when things get hard is something that many people need. The easy thing to do is to quit when things get hard but if you can dig deep and push just a little bit more the results will often be worth the effort.

So why does intensity matter? Intensity is what drives hormones, and hormones send the signals to your body to burn fat and build muscle or to store fat and eat away muscle. By working out with intensity you will send better signals to your body which will create better results.
