👉 "Workout macabre" is a term for exercises that emphasize extreme physical exertion and discomfort to push the body beyond its limits, often incorporating elements of fear or morbid fascination with death or injury to create an intense workout experience. These workouts can range from using heavy weights and performing high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to mimicking grueling survival scenarios like building sand castles under constant threat of collapse, all designed to force one's body into a state of relentless physical struggle.
