Preset Programmes - 20 Minute and 40 Minute Fitness
<< Basic Conditioning20 Minute Fitness >>
by Celia and Keith Atkinson
In the 20 minute fitness and 40 minute fitness programmes the training periods have been defined as preparation, development and consolidation. The preparation period is the start up period, when you a regetting used to a regular training regime; the development period should be started when you are happy that you've mastered technique and have established a regular exercise routine. You can then begin to work a little harder during each session. Provided progress is good you may wish to push on further into the consolidation period. The main changes are that the stroke ratings (strokes per minute or spm) will rise and the quality and intensity of the work will increase. In short, you will work harder and rate higher.
For those of you who become interested in competition, the preparation, development and consolidation periods can relate to the preparation, pre-competition and competition periods for 2,000m race training.
