When it comes to high-intensity moves, it's fair to say I have a love-hate relationship with them. I love the sweaty, endorphin-fuelled high that follows them, but actually doing the exercise? Not so much.
I know that alongside beloved barre and home Pilates workouts, my body (and brain) need a decent sweat session. If the NHS guidelines that recommend 75 minutes of vigorous exercise every week weren't enough of a reason to do it, I came across a study in the Menopause Journal that found high-intensity exercise is especially effective in midlife for boosting quality of life and longevity. That's what we want after all.
