    Default Training and Income

    A new study surveyed 1000 exercisers and 1000 non-exercisers and looked at various aspects of life, including income. Those who hit the gym often earned more money than the sedentary folks. But things got interesting when they looked at the types of exercise performed:.Of the 1000 non-exercisers surveyed, the average income was $49,000 per year. Low-intensity exercisers earned about $54,000 per year. Middle-intensity exercisers earned about $67,000 per year. High-intensity exercisers earned an average of $83,000 per year.

    The exercisers also reported having more sex compared to non-exercisers: 34% of exercisers said they have sex "several times" per week. Only 15% of non-exercisers could brag about that. And 1 in 4 non-exercisers reported that they "never" have sex, but only one in 20 hardcore exercisers reported that. .But these types of surveys can be tricky to interpret. The company responsible for the survey pointed out that fitness helps with confidence, willpower, and other positive mental attributes that transcend the gym. That would lead you to believe that all you need to do to make more dough is join a gym or turn up the intensity during your workouts. But it could also be a chicken-and-egg issue. And correlation doesn't imply causation.

    Maybe goal-oriented, responsible, harder-working people are more drawn to the gym to begin with. Exercise didn't cause them to earn more money, but those who are driven to earn more just happen to also want to take care of themselves more and push themselves harder. That said, other studies have shown that fit people are judged by employers as smarter, harder working, and more responsible than overweight people, so that might lead to better job opportunities..The answer? It's probably a little chicken and a little egg. Chicken: Learning all the lessons that training can teach you – like discipline and the value of hard work – will transfer over into other aspects of your life. Egg: Those who are "go-getters" in the work place (and the bedroom) are probably the same types of people who enjoy high-intensity work in the gym. It's just part of their personalities.

    High intensity as in doing a lot of cardio?
    Sink, suffer, self-destruct. Rise stronger, reconstruct

    Any type of HITT. I think they are using the demography information from all those yuppies that do crossfit.

    High intensity... amount of effort. Walking is low, running/sprinting is high ... 30 reps @ 50% MR is low, 6 reps at 90% RM is high.

    I know I can think and focus a lot better after a workout with is always mid to high intensity Aside from focus its also an increased motivator which together should propel you to progress your goals and remove the depression or frustrations many have in daily life.
