I have tried many modalities of exercise with my clients and my self, and what it all comes down to it which ones get results. I am going to give you the secret, the key to success, the golden rule....are you ready......here it is. Controlled intensity.
Controlled intensity is the name I have given to the concept that you have to train harder than you are use to to elicit a response or a change in how your body works and looks, and know when to back down and back away from that intensity before it becomes a problem (read: injury, sickness, etc).
If the workouts you are doing are not challenging you, if you don't have to psych yourself up before starting, it is unlikely you are seeing the results you would like! That unfortunately is a fact.
On the flip side of that coin is the knowledge base to know when to back away from that intensity, and also the knowledge that intensity is inversely proportional to the time spent doing the workout. In other words, the longer it goes, the lower the intensity will become.
you get the idea.......
