277. Debunking High-Intensity Workout Myths


Listen Later

Are high intensity workouts best? Should a workout make you sweat to be effective? Are light intensity workouts a waste of time?

In this shortie episode, I’m answering listener Megan’s question: “When I have time to workout it’s hard for me to choose anything other than a high intensity workout or something with heavy weights. I always feel like the harder workout is better. I’ve always struggled with this and at times it has caused me to burnout and also have injury. Could you give me some tips about this?”

We’re going to debunk myths about high-intensity workouts and give you a clear understanding of:

  • The 6 different aspects of your fitness (ALL 6 are equally important)
  • How to make your high-intensity workouts even MORE effective
  • The one thing you may need to “train” more than anything else
  • If you struggle with the “all-or-nothing” mindset with your workouts, this episode is for you!

    Taking listener questions!!! Do you have a question about your self-care that you need help with? Just head to www.vigeofit.com/ask to submit your question, and I’ll answer it for you on an upcoming Friday episode.
