A gym that offers classes with different intensities and durations is essential for your overall health. Not only does it improve physical strength, but it also increases mental wellbeing. That's why here at Hardbat, you'll find that some days the class workout lasts 45 minutes, whereas some days last 8 minutes. Additionally, some days might leave you feeling like you could run a whole mile after, while some days might have you contemplating taking a rest day. Regardless, there are benefits to training at varying intensities and durations.
Benefits of Different Intensities
Having a variety of intensities is crucial to any fitness routine. Our program's intensity changes dail,y which allows to better target specific areas, build up new muscles, and avoid overtraining any one muscle group or heart rate zone. Some days we might work on steady-state cardio, mostly utilizing the machines, whereas other days we have a short, intense lactic tolerance effort. The difference is in the stimulus and desired outcome. To avoid overtraining or injury, it's important that you balance the intensity levels of your workouts; thankfully, our coaches have that all figured out for you.
Benefits of Different Durations
The duration of workouts also plays an important role in your overall fitness routine. Some days we focus on short rest periods in between intense weightlifting efforts. Some days we work on long aerobic efforts. Some days we will have short sprints followed by very long rest periods. They all serve different purposes in building different areas of our fitness. Training in all of the different time frames allows us to become well-rounded athletes.
Different intensities and durations of workouts creates an all-encompassing fitness routine. Our classes provide a balanced approach that maximizes both physical and mental wellbeing as well as ensures proper recovery between workouts which reduces risk of injury or overtraining. Furthermore, being well-rounded with your fitness allows you to be adaptable to any circumstance, which translates over to real life.
