M5:D12 (D420) Time and effort - which is most important?

What's on my mind today?
When approaching any issue, what is more important, the time you spend on the issue or the effort you put into it? Are the two things equal? Should you be spending alot of time and putting in alot of effort? I personally think you need to work smarter, not harder, but that doesn't mean your effort should be lacking.

You see, it is very possible to put alot of time into an issue and do nothing about it. You could spend hours or days on something and really get nowhere with it. In fact, it is entirely possible to waste every minute of the time you put into an issue. This is where effort comes in.

When we apply ourselves to a problem or issue the effort we put in will be directly proportionate to the results we receive. It isn't enough to workout an hour a day 3 times a week. You have to workout with extreme effort in order to see results. This is why High Intensity Training works so well. It demands alot of effort from you and not alot of time.

I keep seeing advertisements for the 7 minute workout or even the 4 minute workout and I laugh. Yes, people want to get their workout in faster and faster, but what the hell can you get done in 4 minutes? Enter High Intensity Training. In just 45 minutes a day, 3 days a week, you can turn your body into something you never imagined possible. You can transform yourself into a new person. It just takes effort. Does it hurt? Yes, it hurts alot. Will you be tired after? Yes, you will be exhausted. However, despite the pain and the exhaustion, in the end you will see changes you've never imagined were possible and it will all be worth it.

Today was an interval cardio session. I enjoy this type of interval training because it focuses on my heart rate. I've noticed my body recovers faster and faster which means I get more intervals in within the same amount of time.

Results are directly proportion to our efforts.
