The Importance of Weekly Intense Workouts
Engaging in one intense workout each week is beneficial for both physical and mental health. Research indicates that intense exercise significantly enhances mental well-being, improving conditions such as depression and stress compared to both inactive individuals and those engaging in moderate activity. Additionally, intense workouts are shown to increase VO2 max, an essential indicator of cardiovascular health that correlates with lower risks of disease. Therefore, maintaining a routine of one tough workout weekly strikes an ideal balance, offering ample health benefits without leading to burnout.
