All futureproof fitness programmes incorporate an element of cardiovascular or aerobic fitness. From steady-state training such as brisk walking or jogging to interval and PHA (peripheral heart action) training for more advanced clients, the long-term benefits to heart and lung health are invaluable. Creativity and your enjoyment are crucial to programme design, far removed from the CV fitness norms of monotony and repetition.

 

Monitoring intensity is crucial for assessing and making progress in your CV health, your trainer will use a variety of scientific methods to measure your progress including heart-rate monitoring, and CV fitness testing at specified intervals. We’ll spend most of our time designing a programme that’s appropriate for you, in mode, frequency, duration and intensity and then monitoring and adapting it regularly to achieve gradual progression in your fitness. Often we’ll leave you to do your weekly CV activity yourself, as once it’s planned, the hard work’s up to you, hence saving you money on session time with your trainer.
