The Top 5 Cardio Methods To Improve Your Conditioning

While conditioning is best to asses individually and determine what to program into the training phase, Joel and I cover the top 5 methods of conditioning for most people (and things most people don't do when it comes to cardio).

We break down the details of what, why, and how.

I came across Joel years ago, back in 2014 I think. He is insanely underrated with conditioning knowledge. Great video mate

This is great stuff. I have been looking for ways to understand progressive and strategic ways to build my conditioning.

Thanks for the joel jamieson content! I started reading his book but I’m kinda confuse with how he uses “series” with sets and reps. 😅

Learned something new today! Good stuff guys! 👍👍

[jasonsimpson]

Two of the best ….keep up the excellent work gentlemen!

So is this meant to be a progression of like doing each thing listed for a few weeks and then progress to the next? What is meant by “sequence”? I would love to have a specific example of how one may take these principles and progress through this sequence.

Also, I notice there’s no typical all out interval training as you normally see, is that down the road after this sequence, or is that something you guys don’t really ever do? So like no all out sprints on the bike for intervals and slowing down and then max effort again on repeat.

You should stop calling it "slow" and call it "Maximum Aerobic Steady State" (MASS Training).
Nobody wants to go "slow" but if you call it high intensity or maximum they flock to it.
Marketing is everything.

Can you train more than one of these methods in one session?

[natecritchfield]

Anyone know how many of each type to do per week?

Curious what you think? I have a sled routine I have been building up, 30 rounds in 30 min, so about 25 seconds per round and 35 seconds rest. Im building up to having 100KG on the sled which is my intermediate target. I then plan on halving the weight with the goal of doing the 30 rounds in the shortest time <25min. Im hoping it would generally just build up my capacity to workout or tackle something like the Concept2 5000m which is a 20-22min workout. For me its killer cardio. Ideally I do this twice a week.

Can the explosive repeats whit shorter rest increase the VO2 max whit out doing Red max intervals? Can do explosive repeats after heavy weight training?

I am 47. If I jog, my heart rate gets to around 160, but I can still breathe through my nose and talk but I am a bit out of breath. Is that too intense? Should I just walk quickly for my SS cardio to keep my heart rate at 120-130?

explosive repeat method...would, for example, 5 heavy and fast kettlebell swings or snatches every minute on the minute fall into this category?

[AnX]

Im having trouble understanding the tempo interval method; if I ran X amount of yards in 8 secs... how would I run 70% of those yards in 8secs If applying max effort??
