NOTE

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. This approach fosters growth, as the body adapts to new levels of demand over time. By alternating between periods of discomfort and recovery, one can progressively build strength and improve stamina while gradually becoming more attuned to their physical capabilities. Embracing this practice creates a foundation for more structured interval training as fitness levels evolve.
