Weekly VO2 Max Intervals

Do one short, very hard interval session per week after a warm-up, using a safe modality like running, cycling, rowing, or an Assault/Airdyne bike. Typical protocols are 20–30 second all-out efforts with generous recovery, or 1–4 minute hard repeats, for about 8–15 minutes of work total. This targets VO2 max and top-end cardiovascular capacity while also improving anaerobic power, mitochondrial function, and time-efficient conditioning.

I think the tools of exercise and should you want very potent increases in adrenaline, high-intensity exercise, as well as the tools of caffeine, cyclic hyperventilation, and deliberate cold exposure really combined to give you a nice little kit, I would say a versatile kit, of ways to increase epinephrine for sake of having more physical and mental energy.
