EPISODE 3: TRAINING VOLUME & INTENSITY
Training volume and intensity are critical components to your fitness, but sometimes they can be misunderstood. Boz & Pat discuss what intensity and volume are, why they are so important and how much is appropriate. The conversation also covers how high intensity should not be confused with maximal intensity.
EPISODE 2: FOCUSING ON WHAT MATTERS IN FITNESS
Adrian discusses what defines some of his “best sessions” in the gym. Every training session should have a focus and a specific desired outcome. Effectively removing unnecessary elements that distract from the focus of the day is critical.
