What is stress fitness?

Stress fitness isn’t just associated with mild and chronic stress.

It’s like when you wake up in the morning and splash cold water on your face.

The sensation is brief but alarming, and shocking enough that it keeps you awake for hours.

Of course, it’s not about how fast or intense you go right away.

Every body is different and either needs or responds differently to different speeds and demands of fitness.

It’s important to gradually increase discomfort and stress levels when getting physical, to prevent injury.

Combined, the training should last anywhere from 15 to 35 minutes.

Like HIIT workouts, it’s best to take ice baths in bursts.
