Continuous trainning

Continuous training is when low to mid-intensity exersies are performed for more that 15 minutes without resting - used to prepare for long endurance activities.
25 minute run

In one of our lessons we were set the task of running constantly for 25 minutes. We were working above the aerocic threshold but below the anerobic threshold so we were working in the aerobic trainning zone. This means we were working with oxygen. I kept a steady pase fpr 25 minutes and felt comfortable and not to tired when half way through. I preffered this trainning method to the cross fit training because it was not as tiring and we were working aerobicly not anerobicly.






Crossfit trainning

In another of our lessons we did a crossfit trainning course in which we had to do repeatedly for 15 minutes.

  • In this trainning session we worked anerobicly, this course included:

  • 5 burpies, which i had to put my hands and feet on the floor, then extend my legs, and get up and do a vertical jump. I did this 10 times/50 burpies. The fitness requiments for these are strength,power, muscular endurance and flexibility.

  • 10 kettlebells, I used a kettlebell and extended my arms to lift it over my head. I did this 10 times. The fitness requiments needed for these are strength,power,muscular endurance. this is a good exercise for improving upper arm muscles.
  • 15 skips, i skipped as fast as i could until i had done 15 skips, i did this 9 times. The fitness requiments to be able to skip are mainly c.v endurance, agility and co-ordination. Good excersise for boxers.
  • 4 shuttle runs, we did 4 shuttle runs of the gym as fast as we could as many times as we could, i did this 9 times and the requiments of fitness used are c.v endurance,speed,and agility  this is a good trainning method for football or rugby when constantly having to run across the pitch.
  • Even though this is a trainning method that has a better variety of activities it is a more expensive way of trainning than doing the 25m run. Also the coach/teacher has to be more involved when teaching us how to lift weights properly or how to skip but with the 25m run they can set alot more people of than they could inside with equiptment. Also during this trainning  i felt more tired than doin the run but felt better than i did after the run.
