Training Focus Stats
With your Workout Trainer Pro+ membership, you’ll get an in-depth breakdown of two key training systems: Strength Training and Aerobic Training. Strength Training, which focuses on weight lifting, is essential for building muscle and increasing bone density—both of which become even more critical as you age. Aerobic Training, involving activities like running, is designed to improve cardiovascular health and boost calorie burn. By incorporating both systems into your routine, you can achieve a well-rounded approach to fitness that enhances overall health and longevity.
Strength Training
Strength training encompasses three distinct approaches: Max Strength, Hypertrophy, and Muscular Endurance, each serving unique fitness goals.
- Max Strength focuses on lifting heavy weights for short durations to maximize lifting capacity. Ideal for those aiming to enhance their maximum lifting ability.
- Hypertrophy involves moderate weights and durations to increase muscle size, achieving the classic ‘bodybuilder’ physique.
- Muscular Endurance targets lifting lighter weights for extended periods, perfect for boosting stamina and calorie burn.
Each method offers specific advantages, from Max Strength’s role in muscle building and bone strengthening to Muscular Endurance’s benefits for heart health and endurance. Tailoring your regimen to incorporate these techniques can lead to more comprehensive fitness improvements.
Aerobic Training
Aerobic training is categorized into Low Aerobic, High Aerobic, and Anaerobic. We’ve also added a ‘Warmup’ type to help further monitor your activity levels. While warming up is crucial for preparing the body for more intense activity, shifting from ‘Warmup’ to the primary aerobic types intensifies calorie burn and encourages more fitness gains.
- Low Aerobic: Engage in prolonged, low-intensity exercise for cardiovascular health and calorie burning.
- High Aerobic: Perform moderate-intensity workouts for balanced endurance and heart benefits.
- Anaerobic: Embrace short, high-intensity sessions to enhance speed and strength.
Each category targets specific fitness objectives, from endurance in Low Aerobic to power in Anaerobic.
