How important is workout intensity for fat loss?

You see people all the time in gyms doing the same things day after day, week after week and not changing. They lift the same weight, walk at the same speed on the treadmill, or the worst sit on the bike and read the latest 'entertainment magazine' . What a waste of a life!

Your body will never change unless you give it a reason to do so. If you constantly lift the same weights, you will continue to look the same. How do we fix this?

Intensity is the key to changing you body and ultimately, losing body fat. Using more weight though is not the only manner in which to up your intensity. Here are a few other methods.

Take shorter rest periods

Lift faster

Lift slower

Do the same amount of work in less time

Go farther, faster

Use super sets and tri sets

These are just a few of the variables you can manipulate to up your intensity. The bottom line on this is that nothing will change unless you change things. Your body is not going to change into a sexy lean physique until you give it a reason to, so up the intensity and see your results speed up.
