Exercise to the point of feeling the burn for about 10% of workouts
Use sufficiently intense exercise to reach the muscular burn/lactate threshold for roughly 10% of workouts or about 10% of an individual workout; intended to generate lactate signaling that benefits brain, heart, and liver. When the burn appears, focus on deep inhales to bring in more oxygen and do not hold your breath.
