Can you maintain a high intensity interval after interval after interval?

One of the reasons why it’s important to have a well-rounded training program is because our body uses different energy systems for different types of activities. Training each system ensures we are improving our adaptation within our body.

Improve your cardiovascular health, through fitness and exercise, increases the mitochondria in your cells. These regulate cellular metabolism, control cell growth, and manages cell death.

What does that mean?

The more mitochondria you have, the stronger it is to protect against metabolic disfunction such as diabetes 2. The more and larger mitochondria you have can improve blood sugar levels and can push pre diabetics to remission through training. It also increases your red blood cells.

Mitochondria converts the food we eat into usable energy that powers all bodily functions, from muscle contractions to brain activity.

Training all three energy systems also:
-Improves overall athletic performance
-Enhances recovery between efforts
-Reduces risk of injury and fatigue
-Adapts to real-life situations
-Promotes long term health and wellness

Improving your cardiovascular health has many benefits but it isn’t just long based aerobic workouts; it also needs to include short, fast movements as well as immediate movements.

You will often experience all three energy systems being used within our FST Training Program. Next time you are in class, try to distinguish between the three.
