    Methods of Training

    Aerobic Training

    • Any activity that keeps the heart rate at 60-85% MHR for 20+ minutes or a mix of activities targeting the same area.

    Circuit Training

    • Using various equipment arranged around an area, completing exercises at each station.

    Continuous Training

    • Working out without rest breaks; maintaining a heart rate of 60% MHR for 20+ minutes

    Interval Training

    • High and low-intensity activities and rest breaks

    Fartlek
