What is Cardiovascular/V02 Training?
Cardiovascular training is referring to the heart and lungs. The heart is a muscle that needs to be properly conditioned, just like any other muscle. The lungs need to build the proper capacity of oxygen intake to deliver oxygen to all working muscles. In order to achieve this, we must work within different heart rate zones. The heart rate zone is determined by a person’s age and gender.

The different zones are called Fat Burning and Cardio Training zone. The Fat Burning Zone is when your body mostly focuses on using fatty acids as fuel while your body performs the cardiovascular exercise over the duration of time. This is the zone to be in when we want to focus on fat reduction.

The Cardio Training Zone is when we focus on conditioning the heart and lungs, building a stronger heart for more intense workouts or fitness events. In this zone we also work on building the capacity of how much oxygen our lunges can tolerate. This will result to more oxygen to our working muscles.

Fitness Blueprint’s programs include cardiovascular training. It’s an important component in any workout. The results will lead to the reduction of body fat and a conditioned cardiovascular system, but most importantly, help prevent CAD (Cardio Artery Disease).
