BUILDING THE AEROBIC SYSTEM
Whether you're training to improve performance, body composition, strength, or just overall health, the engine (capacity & power) of the aerobic system is key.
That's because the aerobic system:
- Increases stamina / Decreases fatigue
- Wards off illness / Reduces potential health risks
- Helps manage chronic conditions
- Correlates to health & lifespan
- Boosts your mood
- Contributes the majority of energy to a wide range of actions (in sport & life)
- Is what drives recovery & sets your effective training limit
How to train to build the engine of the aerobic system:
Type = Steady State Training
Mode = Any (run, cycle, row, swim, etc...)
Duration = 30-60mins
Frequency = 1-4 x per week
Intensity = Maintain HR between 120-160bpm
