This is Greg Koenig owner of fitness for life. And today we are going to discuss high intensity
weight training. The way I interpret high intensity weight training, if you are looking
for a standard general conditioning I don't really recommend high intensity weight training.
If you are looking for functional style training and or strength training basically at a moderate
pace, that's sufficient enough for what you are looking to do. If you are looking for
more of an athletic style of training or even a competition style of training you want to
increase the speed of the movement. The one movement that we are demonstrating is a cable
torso rotation. And the first movement is done at a pretty slow deliberate pace, still
engaging the same muscles, but the intensity is not the same. As you can see in the demonstration.
The second demonstration is at a very high intensity pace, you are at more, or are more
prone to injury with a higher intensity trainings, so you want to make sure that you are with
a certified athletic trainer and or personal trainer when doing this particular movements.
A lot of muscles are being engaged during this particular movement and with the rapid
faster pace their engaged a lot faster which does make you or will make you more prone
to injury. So safety is of maximum concern. This is Greg with fitness for life and that
concludes our talk about high intensity training.
