What is continuous training?
Continuous training is essentially the opposite of interval training. Rather than short bursts of intense exercise, this is consistent exercise without any considerable breaks. Think, long distance running on a treadmill or a session on an indoor exercise bike. This is done to achieve steady progress and increased endurance over time. This exercise tends to be done at a moderate intensity to boost cardiovascular endurance.
What are some examples of continuous training?
Some examples of continuous training include:
- Swimming- the ultimate low-impact exercise
- Running- whether this is on a treadmill or outside
- Cycling- cycling on an indoor bike overcomes disruption to this continuous exercise, cause by working out in the real world (stopping and starting)
- Elliptical machine use- where you can continuously train your entire body
