Episode 2512:

Harold Gibbons' insightful article for MarkFisherFitness.com delves into the concept of exercise as a vital tool for stress management, specifically focusing on how to optimize workouts for recovery rather than additional stress. Gibbons outlines practical strategies for moderating workout intensity to ensure physical activity remains a source of rejuvenation, highlighting the balance between challenging the body and nurturing its recovery needs.

Quotes to ponder:

"Intensity is a spectrum, and there’s a time for getting after it as hard as you can. For now, let’s talk about working out in moderation, with the intensity that leaves your body feeling physically better than where you started."

"One of our key lessons at MFF is to 'run your own race,' which means that everyone should train at the intensity that feels most appropriate to them."
