In the past, as people simply going to work out while they worked. Manual labor involved lots of physical activity, so they didn't have to implement a workout regime into their daily routines. As a result of that, people today has to to find ways to exercise for their own good, considering many work in offices. This is where extreme fitness can give people the best of both worlds, or a good workout without having to invest too much time.

This team of researchers studied the benefits and harmful effects of extreme workouts, but did not find any harmful effects. The only precaution noted was that this type of intense workout was meant for, and should only be undergone by those, who are already at a certain level of fitness. Therefore, the recommendation is to reach that level in other ways before engaging in such workouts.
