Why is planning the 'Time' of a workout useful?

• Your body needs time to recover between exercises, often 1-4 days. Planning ahead reduces the chances of injury and keeps our bodies ready for performance.
• Picking the correct length of an exercise session decreases overuse injuries and increases the efficiency of our training, meaning we do not waste time or effort.
• Different exercises and types of training lead to different results. Depending on your goals, some activities are more useful than others.
• Too much intensity can lead to injury or burnout. Too little will not lead to progress. Choosing the right amount of ‘stress to the body’ leads to improvements.
