Aerobic Capacity Workout with Chris Hinshaw
AEROBIC CAPACITY WORKOUT WITH CHRIS HINSHAW
60 Minutes
Coaches Tip
First, I really like the warm-up and main workout flow of this workout. This workout was designed to be performed while at home with little equipment. Secondly, and more importantly, this workout will have a huge carry over into the movements of running and/or cycling. Athletes will be performing plyometrics and ballistics that will create significant fast-twitch muscle fiber demands and the reverse lunges will serve as the active recovery (if performed slowly) to help the athletes clear the fatigue the just created.
The key in this workout is to move fast in the toe taps and overhead jumping split lunges and move slowly in the reverse lunges. The goal is to repeatedly create fatigue and then clear fatigue. Use fast-twitch muscle fibers (anaerobic) and then use slow-twitch muscle fibers (aerobic).
