Many people think endurance is all about cardiovascular training, but by mixing cardio with a carefully selected program of high reps, low weight, it can seriously increase your overall endurance not just aerobic endurance To increase the stamina & capacity at which the body can operate at for a longer period of time. To manipulate the number of repetitions, sets, rest, tempo and resistance to cause a positive change in the level of force the body is able to apply to a mass/weight, by progressively overloading a group of muscles. Strength training is primarily an anaerobic activity, but some trainers have adapted it to provide the benefits of aerobic exercise through circuit training. Strength training mainly uses the technique of progressively increasing the force output of the muscle through small increases of weight, elastic tension or other resistance, but also uses a variety of exercises and types of equipment to target specific muscle groups. This includes increased bone, muscle, tendon and ligament strength, joint function, reduced potential for injury, increased bone density, a temporary increase in metabolism, improved cardiac function and elevated HDL (good) cholesterol. Properly performed strength training can provide positive functional benefits and improvement in overall health and well-being. ![]()
