Training Zones and Physiological Adaptations

Do you know that when you exercise, the intensity level of your session or your interval determines the physiological adaptation you are stimulating in your body?
This is one of the reasons why sporadic and random exercising at different levels of intensity for sporadic and random periods of time will not be very effective in improving your fitness and enhancing your performance.

  • How do you know which physiological adaptations you need?
  • How do you know your own Training Zones?
  • How do you know at which level of intensity you need to train to develop the specific physiological adaptation?
  • How do you know how long you need to exercise at a specific training zone to stimulate the desired physiological adaptations?
    How do you know how to make these suggestions specific to your needs, goals, body and current ability?
