That little hill represents the level of intensity I'm talking about. Sprinting madly up the hill as if it were an emergency would be too intense, too exhausting for you. On the other hand, an Olympic athlete might have to zoom up a much steeper hill to add intensity to her comfortable run.
I am trying to show you tricks on how to add little bits of intensity without getting hurt. I emphasize again -- WITHOUT getting hurt. If you tell a friend, "Covert Bailey says you've got to exercise intensely" without explaining the rest, you're not helping your friend.

|
Intensity is a relative term -- it means pushing yourself beyond what's comfortable. |
