Muscle Gain

When I answer the question "What sport do you play?" with a confident "I play golf," I get a cheeky smile and a comment, "That's not a sport." Meanwhile, golf is one of the most complex sports and High Intensity Training is key to improve your game in three specific ways. So, no matter how young or old, amateur or elite golf player you are, do strength training to enjoy improved posture, swing and endurance on and off the golf course.

The strength lies in the legs. All athletes such as polo players, skiers, cyclists or runners benefit from strength training of the legs to increase athletic performance and endurance. The legs and buttocks are our most important muscle group in everyday life too. In addition, the increased performance of the leg muscles correlates with an improved testosterone balance, higher insulin sensitivity and accelerated recovery. So, how to train legs?

The first part of this mini blog post series about high intensity training (HIT) dealt with the theoretical basis of antifragility of a human body and how this is also reflected in the adaptability of our species. The tendency to overreact (#dramaqueen) to external stressors has resulted in people being able to colonize every climate zone on this planet so successfully. Use this knowledge to get fit.

There are exponential and linear effects. Which ones are you achieving with your training routine? With too much exercise and too little recovery time, you are taking a middle ground that can, unfortunately, lead to frustration. With one HIT strength training a week and only low-intensity training and rest, you achieve exponential health and fitness effects. What are the effects and why high intensity strength training is the optimal way to upgrade your body and maintain it in shape?
