E442 – Why You May Need To Exercise More Intensely If Your Body Is Breaking Down


Get Started With Muscle Activation Techniques® To Loosen Your Tight & Achy Muscles Without Stretching: https://www.matschaumburg.com

Does your body feel like it is breaking down?

Maybe your knee feels achy, your back feels tight, or your shoulders are pinchy.

Or maybe it just feels like you are “getting old”.

A lot of times, when people feel this way, they are hesitant to exercise intensely–or exercise at all.

But, truth be told, exercising at a low intensity may actually be causing your body to break down faster.

On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health podcast, we are explaining why this is and how we recommend increasing your exercise intensity while making sure you stay safe.

If you have been resistant to exercising intensely because of how your body feels, this conversation will give you the confidence you need to start ramping up your workouts to build your strength and function without feeling achy, sore, or injured.

Check out all the details in this week’s episode!
