ENDURANCE
Any physical activity that causes your heart rate to rise above 50% of your maximum for prolonged periods of time is considered an endurance workout. There are two types of endurance: general endurance and specialised endurance. Our level of physical fitness and psychological toughness have an impact on our ability to perform well in endurance events.
STRENGTH TRAINING
Strength training also known as resistance training is great for building and toning muscles. It involves contracting your muscles against a resisting force such as weights, your own body weight or resistance bands.
FLEXIBILITY
Flexibility training involves stretching your muscles with the aim to loosen them and increase your range of movement. Flexibility training is implemented in most sports and helps reduce injury and stiffness.
HIIT
High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is a training method that involves alternating short bursts of high or explosive anaerobic exercise with short rest intervals till exhaustion.
AMRAP
AMRAP stands for ‘as many reps as possible’ or ‘as many rounds as possible’ depending on how you implement it in your workout. You might set a time of 15 minutes with 3 exercises for 10 reps each and see how many rounds you can go for. You might also set 5 different exercises for a minute each and attempt to complete as many repetitions as possible.
FARTLEK
Fartlek is a Swedish term that approximately translates to "speed play." Fartlek training involves changing your run's intensity or speed to increase your fitness and endurance. This type of training is very effective in sports such as football, rugby and boxing.
