How to use "Work up" in context?
"work up" is a term that is used in fitness to describe the process of gradually increasing the intensity, frequency and duration of activity to achieve a desired fitness goal. The process of "working up" can be broken down into three stages: elation, discontent and adaptation.
In the first stage, known as elation, exercisers feel positive emotions such as satisfaction, excitement and enthusiasm. During this phase, exercisers are motivated to continue working because they feel good about themselves.
In the second stage, known as discontent, exercisers start to feel overall discomfort and soreness.
