Cyclical Training for Endurance
The key to cardio and endurance training is to vary your physical activity. The body is designed to work in bursts and your workout should involve bursts of activity followed by shorter recovery times. This stop and go activity will increase your stamina over longer periods of time.
Studies show that cyclical activity is the best way to increase your endurance.
On a treadmill a sample workout might look like the following:
- Warm-up for 3-4 minutes at a fast walk or light jog
- Interval 1 - run at 8.0 mi/hr for 1 minute
- Interval 2 - walk at 4.0 mi/hr for 1.5 minutes
- Interval 3 - run at 10.0 mi/hr for 1 minute
- Interval 4 - walk at 4.0 mi/hr for 1.5 minutes
- Repeat those 4 intervals 4 times for a very intense 20-minute workout.
As time goes on you will be able to sustain more intense activity for longer periods of time.
