In part I of this series we highlighted how exercise in the high-intensity domain improves our bodies' physiological adaptations beyond what zone 2 exercise alone can do.

The various high-intensity sessions we cover below will improve muscular and cardiac health, improve mental fortitude, improve your ability to push harder for longer, avoid type 2 muscle fiber atrophy, and introduce methods to improve your explosive abilities.
