The NASM-CPT textbook chapter 15 is focused on cardiorespiratory training and understanding various heart rate calculations.
At face value, cardio can seem really basic, but many get tripped up on the formulas and how to integrate zones with clients.
But we’re here to make it EASY!
Cardiovascular training is critical to improving blood flow and heart rate adaptations. In this video, lead course instructor , @coacjoedrake , explains what cardiorespiratory training is and explains how to go about using it with clients.
Even if you don’t plan on including a high volume of traditional cardiovascular training in client sessions it can be massively helpful in understanding the heart rate response of both strength and interval training.
It can also be an extremely powerful tool in engaging clients with their effort levels and gauge of intensity.
