An aerobic state and build muscle tissue
There are 3 main types of exercise – aerobic, strength, and flexibility. What type do you prefer? Do you get a mix of all three? What type of exercise do you participate in? How many times a week do you workout? (If you don’t currently workout, have you in the past?)
Have you ever trained for a competition, marathon, bike race, etc? Do you have any experience with carbohydrate loading? The assignment for this week has you calculate your EER and your training heart rate zone. Were these numbers a surprise to you? Do you wear a heart rate monitor when you work out? Is it hard to stay in your aerobic training zone?
High intensity interval training (HIIT) is a great way to burn fat and build muscle. It can bring you into an aerobic state and build muscle tissue. Watch this 10 min. HIIT video with Rebecca Louise and try to complete as much of it as you can.
