As we become more active, finding ways to challenge ourselves is essential. Chris Jordan, an exercise physiologist, emphasizes the need to power up workouts. According to him, our bodies adapt over time, making prior routines feel easier.
This adaptation, termed ‘exercise adaptation,’ enhances athleticism and fitness. Jordan notes that it can also help delay age-related diseases, as illustrated by a comprehensive review of regular exercise benefits.
The latest in this trend is the 7-Minute Power Workout, part of a series aimed at varied fitness levels.
