Intensity: Refers to how hard you’re working during an exercise based on the amount of weight used. High intensity refers to lifting weight close to the maximum you can lift for that exercise. Low intensity refers to lifting weight lower than the maximum you can lift for that exercise. [Wanna see an example of a ridiculously high-intensity workout? Check out the soccer feature]Heavy Metal
