What Makes a Workout Hard: The Science & Strategy Behind Intensity
In this episode of the EFM Health Club Podcast, our hosts break down what truly defines a "hard workout" and how to design training sessions that push you to your limits—without crossing into overtraining. Discover the science behind progressive overload, time under tension, and pre-exhaust techniques that make your strength training sessions more effective. Learn how mental engagement and controlled intensity play pivotal roles in transforming a standard workout into a challenging, growth-inducing session.
We dive into the differences between a workout that’s hard and one that’s simply exhausting, share actionable tips on optimizing both strength and cardio sessions, and explore real-world examples that help you gauge whether you’re pushing hard enough—or too hard. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned athlete, this episode is packed with insights to help you maximize gains while ensuring proper recovery.
Tune in now to learn how to craft workouts that deliver real results and take your training to the next level!
