My plan is to reduce the WODs to 1 or 2 a week, and attend the olympic lifting / gymnastic sessions at the box instead (which focus on building strenght only — no WOD) and to add in 4 — 5 sessions of low
intensity aerobic work at around 120 — 130 bpm.
Not exact matches
Continuous
aerobic exercise isn't nearly as effective a weight - control strategy as surprising your body with
aerobic interval training (short bursts of high -
intensity, heart - pounding
work) or strength training (push - ups, squats, anything that builds muscle and power).
Running on empty usually makes
working out harder, but studies have shown that low -
intensity aerobic exercise in a fasted state — before breakfast, for example — can foster long - term improvements in performance and weight loss.

Work your way up to 150 minutes of moderate -
intensity aerobic activity, 75 minutes of vigorous -
intensity aerobic activity, or an equivalent mix of the two each week.
Anaerobic Exercise — Exercise of much higher
intensity than
aerobic work, which uses up oxygen more quickly than the body can replenish it in the
working muscles.
Aerobic Exercise — Prolonged, moderate -
intensity work that uses up oxygen at or below the level at which your cardiorespiratory (heart - lung) system can replenish oxygen in the
working muscles.
Lifting weights and bodybuilding is of course the logical method to naturally boost testosterone (though it doesn't necessarily
work if you suffer from abnormally low levels of testosterone, as we discussed in our article about bodybuilding and low testosterone last month), but consider high -
intensity aerobic exercise as well.
Aerobic metabolism occurs at lower
intensities where our
working muscles, organs and other systems are able to get all of the oxygen they need to meet their energy demands.
If you are able to extend an exercise activity beyond approximately two minutes in length it will be due to the fact that you are
working at an exercise
intensity level that can be accommodated by your
aerobic energy system.
(*) If you have only 3 hours per week, use factor # 1 - metabolic resistance training (*) If you have only 3 - 5 hours per week, use factors # 1, 2 plus high -
intensity interval
work (*) If you have only 5 - 6 hours per week, use factors # 1,2,3 - # 1,2 plus
aerobic interval training (*) If you have only 6 - 8 hours per week, use factors # 1,2,3,4 - # 1,2,3 plus steady state high -
intensity training (*) If you have more than 8 hours per week, add factor # 5 - # 1,2,3,4 plus steady state low -
intensity training
Once the body is warmed up, the
intensity is increased to optimize
aerobic and fat burning capacity, followed by floor
work to cool down while focusing on core strengthening.
When you compare high -
intensity interval training with repetitive, moderate -
intensity cardio, you
work more muscle groups and improve
aerobic and anaerobic fitness.
Instead, for the triathlete who wants to avoid the skinny - fat look and get an amazing, muscular body, the training plan should incorporate strategically targeted high -
intensity bursts of energy, a moderate amount of slightly longer «tempo»
work, and finally, a low amount of long
aerobic training...
- Teach how to optimize those parameters using proper training protocols, outlining the two primary methods that
work: polarised training / Maffetone method / 80 %
aerobic + 20 %
intensity approach OR HIIT training using a more ancestral health method... but not both combined...
Thanks for the info, I found 2 weeks ago, that I have a hard time of burning fats... versus carbs during training or maybe something else was going on (there was has been a change in my workouts from morning to evening too)... but I started eating 75g or so of carbs at night (with same training
intensity,, mostly
aerobic with 2 days of «speed») the following week my energy levels were back to normal... not sure I do so well in ketogenic state or perhaps I wasn't as balanced as I should have been (carb, protein, fat) or my body just isn't acclimitized to those things yet (ketosis)...
working on it though...
Therefore, training mostly the capacity to
work at submaximal exercise
intensities can improve the oxidation of fats and the performance of the slow - twitch
aerobic muscle fibers, both of which may be of most importance for endurance success.18
The reasons the 1st mile MAF -LRB--15 sec)
works partly has to do with how many miles it takes to deplete muscle glycogen at an
intensity that is 15 sec / mile faster than fully
aerobic (~ 26 miles).
I'm 68, in nutritional ketosis (so I'm a good fat burner) but my exercise history has been of the high
intensity variety, thus my
aerobic system needs some
work.
