Understanding Workout Intensity

Workout intensity determines how difficult and strenuous a workout is - customized to your strength.

Updated over a week ago

When generating a workout, choose the intensity level that aligns with your current energy and readiness to train. This approach ensures each workout is tailored to your performance and recovery needs, maximizing effectiveness and minimizing the risk of overtraining.

About Intensity Levels

There are 3 levels of intensity:


  • Low: Best for recovery or light training days, with longer rests, lighter weights, and fewer reps. Keeps your heart rate in Zone 1 or 2 for endurance without strain.

  • Medium: Ideal for regular workouts with standard weights, reps, and rest times. Offers a balanced session that maintains fitness and allows for recovery.

  • High: Suited for high-intensity days with heavier weights, more reps, and shorter rests. Provides a challenging workout to push strength and endurance.

Please note that intensity is different from difficulty. Intensity refers to the effort level of a workout, while difficulty indicates the expertise needed to perform each exercise safely and effectively.
