WHY STRENGTH TRAINING IS IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE ?

  Strength training increase muscle strength and bone density. It also improves metabolism, reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease and helps us to improve our mental health. 

            Strength training plays important role in life of co-orperative workers by improving their muscle strength . strength training, also plays a beneficial role in weight loss, as it increases the rate of metabolism. 

TRAINING TYPES

• INTERVAL TRAINING

• FARTLEK TRAINING

• AEROBIC AND ANEROBIC TRAINING

INTERVAL TRAINING

Interval training is a workout method where you alternate between periods of high-intensity exercise and low-intensity recovery (or rest). It’s one of the most effective ways to improve cardiovascular fitness, burn calories, and build endurance.

Types of Interval Training

1. HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training):
   Short bursts of max effort (like sprinting for 30 sec) followed by rest (like walking for 1 min).
   
   

2. Tabata:
   20 seconds of all-out effort, 10 seconds rest, repeated for 4 minutes.
   
   

3. Fartlek Training:
   Swedish term meaning “speed play” – mixing fast and slow running without a fixed structure.
   
   

4. Circuit Intervals:
   Combining strength exercises (like push-ups, squats) with cardio bursts.
   
   

Benefits

• Burns more calories in less time
  
  

• Boosts metabolism (afterburn effect)
  
  

• Improves heart and lung capacity
  
  

• Builds strength and endurance
  
  

• Time-efficient
  
  

FARTLEK TRAINING

Fartlek is a Swedish word meaning “speed play”. It’s a type of interval training where you alternate between fast and slow running (or high and low effort), but unlike strict HIIT, it’s more unstructured and playful.

For example: jog for a while → sprint to a lamp post → jog again → run fast up a hill → slow jog → repeat.

Benefits of Fartlek Training

• Improves speed and endurance
  
  

• Boosts cardiovascular fitness
  
  

• Burns a high number of calories

Keeps workouts fun & less monotonous

AEROBIC AND ANAEROBIC TRAINING

 Aerobic Training

Meaning:

“Aerobic” means with oxygen. This type of training uses oxygen to generate energy for longer, steady exercises.

Examples:

• Jogging
  
  

• Cycling
  
  

• Swimming
  
  

• Brisk walking
  
  

• Rowing

Main Benefits:

• Improves cardiovascular endurance
  
  

• Helps in fat burning
  
  

• Strengthens heart and lungs
  
  

• Good for beginners and weight loss
  
  

Typical Duration & Intensity:

• Longer (20–60+ minutes)
  
  

• Moderate intensity (you can still talk while doing it)
  
  

---

Anaerobic Training

Meaning:

“Anaerobic” means without oxygen. It relies on stored energy in muscles and is used for short bursts of high-intensity effort.

Examples

• Sprinting
  
  

• HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training)
  
  

• Heavy weightlifting
  
  

• Jump squats / plyometrics
  
  

• Boxing / CrossFit style workouts
  
  

Main Benefits:

• Builds muscle strength & power
  
  

• Increases speed & explosiveness
  
  

• Burns calories fast (afterburn effect)
  
  

• Improves anaerobic endurance
  
  

Typical Duration & Intensity:

• Short (10 sec – 2 min bursts)
  
  

• High intensity (too hard to talk while doing it)
