Super intense short shorts
If your diet is in order, exercise on a regular basis and aren’t losing weight, your work outs suck. Lets quickly explain why your work outs should be intense. Your body has three different ways of using energy, they are The ATP-PCr System (explosive, think sprinters, weight lifters), The Glycolytic System (think hockey, HIIT, circuits), The Oxidative System (aerobic, think marathon running). When you exercise, you use a combination of those three to burn fat. However, why intensity is important is because the ATP system (the most explosive), will only be used after the other two have been activated. This means that you can run on the treadmill all day and since it is not intense enough, it won’t utilize the other two systems and you’ll be stuck with those Thunder Thighs!

So all that running isn’t even working out your body to max capacity! Working out however, with weights and being intense does use all three. Would you rather be neglecting 1/3 of your energy stores and slowing down your progress? Remember sweat does not equal the amount of fat you are burning (otherwise you could get lean by jumping up and down). This is why intensity lets you work out less and get more results.
A simple example is a sprinter vs. a marathon runner. You might not want to look like either, but a sprinter exercises a few hours a week and is significantly leaner (less body fat) than a runner who spends endless hours practicing their craft. What would you rather do? A super intense exercise that burns fat fast or toiling away frustrated at your goal?
How to Scare People in Your Gym
Use these tips to up the intensity of any work out, or get in the zone whenever you need to!
1. Get in the right headspace (usually music helps, or quiet self-meditation before or reading something inspirational)
2. Clear your mind completely and focus on your goal. Remember what is driving you.
3. Make sure you have adequate nutrients in your body so you feel at your best (make sure to eat something at least an hour before)
4. Perform a thorough warm up to get in the “zone”
5. Put aside any stress or worries you might have and remember, the better you feel, the better you’ll perform.
Now go attack the gym tiger, just don’t attack anyone in there!
