I will be running a conditioning class at the academy once a week, it is free to all members. Each week will focus on a different aspect of conditioning. In our first week we focused on endurance training. The workout tested your ability to sustain work over a period of time(30:00). You had 30:00 minutes to complete a four exercise circuit as many times as possible. When time was up we recorded the amount of sets completed and then the last exercise which you completed every rep. So in this order you had to do 20 Burpess, 150 revolutions of jumping rope, 20 medicine ball diagonal chops(10 each side), and 15 power wheel roll outs. Every time you completed all of these exercises you added a set to your total. When time was up we counted up until last exercise completed. In addition I had the participants wear heart rate monitors so that I could record max heart rate and average heart rate.
In regards to training you need a way to evaluate how well it is working. In approximately 3 weeks we will repeat this workout and look for improvement in performance. There were four participants in the workout and they all busted their buts. In these workouts you need to remember that you are competing against yourself. Misery loves company, so it is nice to have someone pushing you but in the end you are finding and pushing your own limitations.
These are the results:
Mike 8 1/4 sets, Max heart rate 184, average 163
Rommy 8 sets, Max heart rate 187, average 173
Val 4 1/14 sets, Max heart rate 178, average 163
Darren 4 sets, Max heart rate 182, average 161
Nice Job Boys!
