What No One Tells You About High-Intensi...

Britany Williams
About this episode

If you're worried about high intensity training impacting hormones and spiking cortisol, then this episode is a must listen.

Britany breaks down the truth about systemic fatigue, stress from overtraining and the myth that your workouts have to leave you drenched and destroyed to count.

In this episode, you'll learn what the research really says about:

  • How many sets you really need to build muscle
  • How to make 15 minute workouts effective
  • What happens to the body when you constantly train exhausted
  • How to balance HIIT and strength training without burning out your body

Whether you're getting back into fitness, navigating low energy or trying to figure out if you're doing too much, Britany shares the filter free truth: more isn't always better.
