Benefits of Endurance Exercise

When you read the benefits of aerobic exercise, it’s a no brainer to include steady state cardio or circuit training between 120-130 bpm for 25+ mins in your workouts.

Decreased risk of injury (esp in late stages of games)
Less stress & anxiety
Better memory and recall as well as ability to learn new motor patterns
Increased ability to recover from bursts of activity
Improved heart health and efficiency
Lower rate of glycogen depletion during exercise
Better sleep quality

Try a heart rate monitor or measure easily using a watch and feeling your pulse for how many beats you have for 15s and then multiplying by 4. Include this at least 2x/week and build on your endurance gradually and with at least a day in between bouts to avoid overuse type scenarios. Running, swimming, biking, rowing, a circuit of exercises, its really your choice so mix it up and have fun!
