Ella loved going to the gym and lifting weights. Every time she went, she tried to lift as heavy as she could. She thought that if she used the heaviest weights, her muscles would grow faster. But one day, Ella felt really tired, and her coach noticed. “Ella, it’s not always about lifting the heaviest weights,” the coach said. “Sometimes, intensity means focusing on how hard you’re working, not just how much you’re lifting.” The coach explained that training intensity doesn’t just come from heavy weights—it also comes from how much effort you put into each set. The coach told her that it’s important to feel a challenge without overdoing it. So, Ella tried using a mix of heavy weights and lighter weights with more reps. She noticed that when she focused on feeling her muscles work, she was able to train harder and recover faster. Ella learned that intensity is about working smart and challenging your muscles in the right way, and that’s when her muscles really started to grow. She felt proud and excited to see her progress!
