this is going to be your ultimate cheat sheet for how
2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:07,759
to improve all aspects of your
muscular and cardiovascular fitness.
3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:12,560
So let's get hotter and smarter in five
as we come up with the ultimate toolkit.
4
00:00:12,590 --> 00:00:17,120
Ultimate guidelines for how to
improve your muscular strength, power
5
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,330
hypertrophy, and endurance, and then
also your cardiovascular fitness.
6
00:00:20,857 --> 00:00:24,907
So there's a few things when it comes
to exercise that we want to improve, and
7
00:00:24,907 --> 00:00:28,597
a lot of the time I get the question,
what exercise is right for my body?
8
00:00:28,657 --> 00:00:30,427
And that completely depends.
9
00:00:30,457 --> 00:00:34,177
But we definitely wanna target these
next few systems and there's a lot of
10
00:00:34,177 --> 00:00:38,797
different ways that we can apply these
rep ranges and this guidebook to the
11
00:00:38,797 --> 00:00:40,087
different systems within our body.
12
00:00:40,087 --> 00:00:43,687
So we're gonna go over those guidelines
today and create, , like a cheat sheet
13
00:00:43,717 --> 00:00:46,987
for your muscular health and then
also for your cardiovascular health.
14
00:00:47,752 --> 00:00:51,082
So from a muscular perspective,
there's four things that
15
00:00:51,082 --> 00:00:52,162
we wanna be able to train.
16
00:00:52,432 --> 00:00:56,302
Muscular strength, muscular
endurance, muscular hypertrophy,
17
00:00:56,302 --> 00:00:57,742
and then also muscular power.
18
00:00:57,982 --> 00:01:03,652
So muscular strength is the ability to
exert maximal force for one repetition.
19
00:01:03,712 --> 00:01:07,657
And the rep ranges for this are
eight to 12 reps, one to three sets.
20
00:01:07,887 --> 00:01:11,547
With one to two minutes of
rest for muscular endurance.
21
00:01:11,547 --> 00:01:15,147
That's our ability to repeatedly
lift a weight below our
22
00:01:15,147 --> 00:01:17,577
maximal effort multiple times.
23
00:01:17,607 --> 00:01:22,287
So I'm thinking of a silly example based
on a recent conversation, but if you
24
00:01:22,287 --> 00:01:27,537
were having to put everyone's carry on in
the overhead bin on a plane, that would
25
00:01:27,537 --> 00:01:29,997
be an example of muscular endurance.
26
00:01:30,237 --> 00:01:32,847
So in general, to train
muscular endurance, it's 10
27
00:01:32,847 --> 00:01:34,977
to 25 reps, two to four sets.
28
00:01:35,426 --> 00:01:38,277
With 30 seconds to one
minute rest in between.
29
00:01:38,783 --> 00:01:42,744
Muscular power is our ability
to exert maximal effort quickly.
30
00:01:42,744 --> 00:01:44,844
So there's now a time component to this.
31
00:01:45,234 --> 00:01:48,714
In general, we train this with three
to six repetitions, one to three
32
00:01:48,714 --> 00:01:50,830
sets with one to two minutes of rest.
33
00:01:50,872 --> 00:01:52,582
And lastly, muscular hypertrophy.
34
00:01:52,582 --> 00:01:56,782
So this is the actual increase in
the size of the muscle and that.
35
00:01:56,904 --> 00:02:00,594
Cheat sheet is eight to 12 reps,
three to six sets with one to
36
00:02:00,594 --> 00:02:01,824
two minutes rest in between.
37
00:02:02,201 --> 00:02:07,211
For our cardiovascular training, there are
three systems that we wanna train and a
38
00:02:07,211 --> 00:02:12,641
lot of them have to do with whether or not
we use oxygen for power or whether or not
39
00:02:12,641 --> 00:02:15,091
we don't use oxygen to supply our muscles.
40
00:02:15,293 --> 00:02:17,453
So the first two systems are anaerobics.
41
00:02:17,453 --> 00:02:21,863
They do not use oxygen in order to power
the motion or power the run, or power the
42
00:02:21,863 --> 00:02:24,263
swim or whatever task that you're doing.
43
00:02:24,263 --> 00:02:27,833
And then the third system is
the aerobic system, and that's
44
00:02:27,833 --> 00:02:29,693
the one that utilizes oxygen.
45
00:02:29,993 --> 00:02:33,978
So the first two systems are
all about quick bouts because we
46
00:02:34,058 --> 00:02:38,423
are not having to utilize oxygen
in order to power the movement.
47
00:02:38,423 --> 00:02:41,573
So first off, we have the A TP PC system.
48
00:02:41,623 --> 00:02:44,713
A typical training session for
this might look like a warmup
49
00:02:44,923 --> 00:02:47,442
with a five to 15 second sprint.
50
00:02:47,473 --> 00:02:52,333
Super duper quick two to five minute
recovery though, so we can utilize
51
00:02:52,603 --> 00:02:56,773
these resources really quickly, but it
takes them a longer time to recover.
52
00:02:57,313 --> 00:03:00,373
For the anaerobic glycolytic
system, this is the second anaerobic
53
00:03:00,373 --> 00:03:02,143
system that does not use oxygen.
54
00:03:02,683 --> 00:03:05,203
A typical workout might
look like a warmup.
55
00:03:05,703 --> 00:03:10,383
30 ish, second to two minute efforts with
a one to two minute recovery in between.
56
00:03:10,443 --> 00:03:14,296
And I'm picturing a run, but this can
be a swim, it can be a cycle, it can
57
00:03:14,296 --> 00:03:17,146
be a row, it can be a lot of different
things, which is why I'm giving these
58
00:03:17,146 --> 00:03:23,356
like very vague general guidelines based
on time sets and then also recovery.
59
00:03:23,506 --> 00:03:25,576
And lastly, we have the aerobic system.
60
00:03:25,636 --> 00:03:29,776
So a typical workout for this might be
a warmup, two to four minute effort.
61
00:03:29,776 --> 00:03:33,316
So longer efforts with a
one to two minute recovery.
62
00:03:33,555 --> 00:03:36,946
So this is typically
done in a one-to-one or.
63
00:03:36,946 --> 00:03:38,231
Two to one ratio.
64
00:03:38,231 --> 00:03:41,981
So a either an equal working
set to an equal resting set.
65
00:03:41,981 --> 00:03:47,591
So a two minute working set to a
two minute recovery, or a two minute
66
00:03:47,591 --> 00:03:49,331
working to a one minute recovery.
67
00:03:49,331 --> 00:03:51,581
So a lot of the times these
are harder workouts for me.
68
00:03:51,761 --> 00:03:52,871
I love the sprints.
69
00:03:52,871 --> 00:03:56,321
The A-T-P-P-C system, five
to 15 second bouts of effort.
70
00:03:56,321 --> 00:04:00,521
So that's you sprinting for 15 seconds,
recovering for two to five minutes.
71
00:04:00,551 --> 00:04:02,051
That's how you're training that system.
72
00:04:02,706 --> 00:04:06,996
The anaerobic glycolytic system,
30s work to two minute work.
73
00:04:06,996 --> 00:04:10,206
So again, a relatively short working
set with a one to two minute recovery,
74
00:04:10,206 --> 00:04:14,136
this aerobic one, a little bit longer
working sets, and usually a typical
75
00:04:14,136 --> 00:04:17,526
shorter recovery compared to what
other systems we had been training
76
00:04:17,976 --> 00:04:19,926
when it comes to cardiovascular health.
77
00:04:20,223 --> 00:04:21,273
So save this.
78
00:04:21,273 --> 00:04:25,623
I used this all throughout college to
trial and experiment different things with
79
00:04:25,653 --> 00:04:27,993
my workouts to see how my body responded.
80
00:04:28,143 --> 00:04:31,413
And, we need all of these, but
a lot of the time people ask me
81
00:04:31,413 --> 00:04:32,763
how many sets, how many reps?
82
00:04:32,793 --> 00:04:35,943
And it really truly depends on what
system you're trying to target.
83
00:04:36,153 --> 00:04:39,783
But as long as you're sprinkling in a
little bit of all of these, throughout
84
00:04:39,783 --> 00:04:43,773
your training, you are going to be doing
what we consider the right exercise.
85
00:04:43,914 --> 00:04:46,464
So now we're all a little hotter
and smarter now that we have a cheat
86
00:04:46,464 --> 00:04:51,144
book for how to actually maximize our
training and find the exercise routine
87
00:04:51,414 --> 00:04:55,674
that works the right way for our body,
while also challenging the systems we
88
00:04:55,674 --> 00:04:59,844
want in order to improve our muscular
health and our cardiovascular health.
