Let’s talk, Training with intent vs. Training with intensity
Training with intensity is great for athletes who are training to maximize muscle growth, increase cardiovascular fitness and over all strength.
I used to push myself every time I was in the gym to the point where I had no energy afterwards. This method was not sustainable for me so I learned to train with intent instead.
Training with intent allowed me to slow down and focus more on what I wanted my outcome to look like. It usually involves a slower pace with lighter weights, great for workouts that are during post injury (rehabilitation), luteal phase or menstruation, lower energy in generally, and/or just getting back into the gym.
It’s important to differentiate the two, they both have their importance and can both support you to reaching your goals in their own ways.
Happy lifting! 💗
