What is conditioning training?
Conditioning training improves cardiovascular fitness, muscular endurance, speed, agility and stamina. Unlike traditional strength training, conditioning workouts are designed to improve your ability to perform repeated efforts and recover quickly between exercises. A conditioning workout combines exercises performed at moderate to high intensity. Common examples include circuits using battle ropes, sled pushes, jump rope intervals and rowing exercises.
What equipment is used for conditioning workouts?
Popular conditioning equipment includes battle ropes, resistance bands, plyo boxes, skipping ropes, weight sleds, exercise mats and cardio machines. Different equipment targets different fitness goals such as endurance, power, agility or fat loss. Mirafit's conditioning range includes over a dozen categories of equipment for home and commercial gyms. Check out our Top 10 Conditioning Essentials.
