If you want to help clients live longer and perform better, you need to train the aerobic system.
In this episode of “Strength Coach Collective,” Joel Jamieson—creator of Morpheus and author of “Ultimate MMA Conditioning”—joins host Kenny Markwardt to break down heart-rate variability (HRV), VO2 max and the science of aerobic training.
Joel explains how aerobic fitness influences recovery, adaptation and longevity and why more coaches should be using HRV and VO2 max to guide their training plans.
He unpacks the evolution of HRV monitoring, addresses common misconceptions about recovery data and explains how aerobic training drives better outcomes for everyone from elite athletes to general-population clients.
Also up for discussion: Joel's three-zone training model, his recommendation for two to five hours of cardio training per week, and how to program the right blend of intensity and volume to create long-term results.
