Embrace Discomfort for Progress
To enhance physical fitness, individuals should deliberately step outside their comfort zones in manageable increments. Whether it's increasing exercise intensity during walks or extending high-intensity intervals, the core principle is to create brief moments of challenge that push personal boundaries.

Embracing this practice creates a foundation for more structured interval training as fitness levels evolve.
