AEROBIC TRAINING

Aerobic training is designed to increase the body's oxygen use efficiency.

More efficient use of oxygen in the body will lead to longer breath hold times, which is exactly what we're after in this course.

Let's dive a little deeper into the topic.

AEROBIC TRAINING OVERVIEW

Traditionally, the best advice was to focus on low- to moderate-intensity activities that can be sustained for extended periods, such as running, swimming, or cycling.

However, recent research suggests that high-intensity interval training (HIIT) may be a more effective method when it comes to breath hold training.

HIIT involves short bursts of intense exercise followed by brief periods of rest, and it has been shown to have a big impact.

EXAMPLE OF A (HIIT) WORKOUT

A HIIT workout is all about bringing the heart rate up, putting stress on the body, followed by periods of rest.

Continued exposure to this environment trains the body to adapt to new environments whereby oxygen must be used more efficiently, leaving you with the improved ability to harness the oxygen at your disposal.

Here's a quick look at what a typical HIIT workout might look like:

Warm-up (5 minutes of light cardio)
Circuit 1: 3 rounds of 30 seconds of jumping jacks, 30 seconds of mountain climbers, and 30 seconds of rest between rounds
Circuit 2: 3 rounds of 30 seconds of bodyweight squats, 30 seconds of push-ups, and 30 seconds of rest between rounds
Cool-down (5 minutes of stretching)

THE WRAP UP

Aerobic training is going to help us get the results we want - doubling your breath hold time - so it's going to form an important part of your 21 day sprint later in this course.

An elevated view on the subject is all you need right now, but rest assured we'll be giving you a full, daily training schedule later in the coure.
