Why you should NOT exercise more than once a week at maximum intensity

The stronger the stimulus, the greater the signal to build muscle in the body. At the same time, however, the degree of exhaustion after training increases, and with it the recovery time required. This is exactly why High Intensity strength training (HIT) is the most effective and time-saving form of strength training because it enables the greatest possible stimulus in just a few minutes of workout. And this only every 5-7 days, because the muscles need this time to recover.

Heart rate variability (HRV): the strongest indicator of performance recovery

Imagine the match of your life. Tennis match. You hold a racket in your hand and take a few deep and slow breaths to concentrate before you hit the ball. Or think of Shavasana, the state of deep relaxation at the end of each yoga class. In both situations we use the breath to calm the mind. This can also be measured in our body using heart rate variability (HRV). A higher HRV goes hand in hand with mindfulness, relaxation and mental presence. Learn to use HRV to achieve your desired fitness and health state.
