💪 How much effort do you actually need to put in for it to count?
This is a question worth answering honestly because a lot of people either go too hard and burn out or hold back thinking it's not worth doing unless it's intense.
The truth sits comfortably in the middle.
Here's what actually makes training count:
✅ Consistency beats intensity. showing up regularly at moderate effort outperforms occasional heroic sessions every time
✅ Progressive challenge. Gradually doing a little more over time is what drives real results
✅ Enough effort to feel it. You should finish a session feeling like you did something, not destroyed
✅ Recovery matters. Rest days are part of the programme not a sign of weakness
✅ Enjoyment is underrated. Effort feels easier when you actually like what you're doing
The sweet spot for most people is leaving a session feeling genuinely worked but not wrecked. Energised not demolished.
You don't need to empty the tank every time.
You just need to show up, give it a decent crack, and do it again next week.
