We've got a great show for you this week, an awesome topic that I'm gonna reveal in a second.

Jesse CarrajatHost

0:22

Hopefully, we don't, uh, disappoint.

Jesse CarrajatHost

0:24

But before we get into it, if this show has ever helped you or even if you're checking in for the first time, uh, do us a favor.

Jesse CarrajatHost

0:31

Just hit that follow button if you could wherever you're listening, leave a five-star review, and most importantly, share this episode with one person who needs it.

Jesse CarrajatHost

0:39

That's how this show grows, just word of mouth from awesome people like you.

Jesse CarrajatHost

0:44

So thanks for giving that a thought.

Jesse CarrajatHost

0:46

Now, for today's episode, it's gonna challenge you a little bit.

Jesse CarrajatHost

0:49

We're tackling a question that I don't think people ask themselves enough, and when they do, I don't know that they answer it honestly, at least in an informed way, and that question is, are you actually training hard enough? Look, so many of us invest time every single week, week over week, month over month on our fitness goals.

Jesse CarrajatHost

1:11

That investment could be two hours a week up to six hours a week.

Jesse CarrajatHost

1:15

And we need to ask ourselves, in those containers, in that, in that limited time that we're investing, are we actually pushing ourselves with effort as much as we should? And there is really important reasons why we should be training, quote unquote, "hard," subjectively hard.

Jesse CarrajatHost

1:30

And the terminology I'm gonna kinda orient you to is moderate activity, vigorous activity, and whatnot.

Jesse CarrajatHost

1:37

So we're gonna unpack what it means to train hard, why that matters, and the benefits to your overall health and health span that come with, uh, training hard.

Jesse CarrajatHost

1:48

And spoiler alert, you probably are not training hard enough.

Jesse CarrajatHost

1:53

And we'll get into that, and hopefully you leave this episode with a lot of knowledge that you can apply starting today or even next week to make sure that you're training hard enough to get the benefits, um, that you need.
