Learn to mentally file several exercises for each muscle group and include at least one exercise for each muscle group in your extended strength training sessions. In choosing your exercises, consider your students. Interval Training A fun way to expand your versatility and give your class a great workout is by using interval training. During this workout movement speed is increased and decreased so that the students use both the aerobic and anaerobic systems. Intense exercise intervals are alternated with easier paced intervals.
Interval training has benefits.
It can optimize the development of cardiorespiratory fitness because the rest periods allow the exercisers to push their exertion during the more active periods a little higher than normal, provided the exerciser has no contraindications to doing this. Muscles develop a higher anaerobic threshold and greater tolerance to lactic acid, thus increasing the ability to exercise faster and longer. Teaching interval training requires the instructor to be very observant of the students and their exercise techniques. Intervals are a dynamic style of training which must be performed correctly. The general population of exercisers can use interval training to help them reach their fitness goals and enjoy new challenges that liven up the workout schedule.
