Aerobic Circuit

Right now, my athletes are training between 4-6 days a week. Either Wednesday or Saturday they will perform an aerobic circuit that’s meant to increase general fitness, include varying movements, and promote recovery by enhancing autonomic function through activation of the parasympathetic nervous system.  This is early in GPP so developing aerobic capacity is one of the main goals.

These are great because you can focus on the development of different abilities based on the person, their sport, goal, etc. As with all of our sessions we started with an extensive warm-up (Active/Dynamic, Ground based, etc.)

Here is what we did the first week (this was performed with a weight vest):

– Marches with Medball Press (improve sprint posture) x 10/e
– Rolling plank x 8/e
– Split Squat Isometric Hold – 30 sec
– TRX Tricep Extension x 10
– Goodmorning x 15
– Push-up x 10
– Hip Circles (Fwd/Bkwd) x 8/e

Rest 1:30, some did it 4x some did it 5
