AEROBIC ENDURANCE
STIMULUS
- Overview: Today we have a longer workout to improve our aerobic efficiency. This workout should be completed at a moderate effort. This teaches the body to process lactate build-up in the muscles, leading to a handful of health and performance benefits such as increased cardiovascular function, metabolic efficiency, improved endurance, and stamina for daily life and sport.

- Burpee Box Jumps: Note these are burpee box jumps, NOT burpee box jump overs. Ensure your knees and hips reach full extension at the top of the box. Step down from the top of the box. No rebounding.

- Shuttle Runs: Every 10-meter segment = 1 shuttle run rep. At each turnaround, only one foot and one hand must touch the ground over the line.

- DB Box Step-ups: Hold a single dumbbell on the shoulder as you step onto the box. Alternate legs every rep. Must reach full lockout/extension of the hips/knees at the top of the box. This should be a weight that you need a maximum of 1-2 breaks with throughout the 3:00.

- DB Farmer's Carry: Hold two dumbbells at your sides. Keep your shoulders pulled back, lats engaged, and arms extended (don't bend your elbows). Choose a dumbbell weight that you can hold onto for at least 1:00 straight before putting them down. Every 10-meter segment = 1 rep. At each turnaround, only one foot must touch the ground over the line.

- Intended Intensity: RPE 5

- Target Loading: Light-Moderate

- Fitness Attribute Improved: Aerobic Endurance

- Target Score: 360-560 Reps
STRATEGY
- Aim to work at a moderate pace on the machines. This should feel like a pace you could hold for 30-60 minutes if we asked you to.

- Work at the gym movements at a methodical pace. Each set should feel like a good challenge of work, but you should not feel depleted after any.
