Recovery after training is as important as the training itself. But how often should you exercise in order to build muscle efficiently and not to disturb the process of muscle tissue growth? How long should you take a break between HIT workouts and what to do to relieve sore muscles? We answer these and other questions in a conversation with Chief AURUM Evangelist Julian.

When we - women - speak of a getting fit, we all basically mean one and the same thing: defined body lines. We want to look lean and have “long lean muscles” and this often motivates us to do intensive cardio, group fitness or go for a run as often as possible. Strength training often remains a taboo, not least because of the false impression that strength training makes you bulk while in reality strength training makes you fit, lean and strong.

Let's face it, the fitness landscape is far too complex. There is a new fitness trend every year and most people have no idea what works for them. Is it your own fault? Are you just too lazy? Or are the offers in the market simply to blame? This is what it takes for strength training and fitness to work for everyone and especially for you.
