Easy & Tough Aerobics Program Breakdown

This 8-week aerobic program includes 3 easy and 1 tough aerobic sessions per week, which is the split we recommend when programming aerobic training for health and vitality clients. 

The program begins with a Ramp Test to establish baseline metrics, which can be used throughout the program to personalize intensity levels (objective and subjective). The program then ends with a Ramp Test to gauge easy and tough aerobic progress.
