Endurance training is a critical component of any fitness regimen, particularly if you’re looking to improve your overall stamina for activities like parkour. Unlike strength training, which focuses on lifting heavy weights for fewer repetitions, endurance training involves lifting lighter weights with many repetitions. This approach not only enhances your aerobic capacity but also allows you to sustain higher levels of activity for extended periods. In this tutorial, we will explore how to effectively structure your endurance training sessions, ensuring you maximize your performance while minimizing fatigue.
To get started, it’s important to warm up properly. Instead of jumping into challenging exercises right away, focus on the mechanics of your movements using lighter bands or resistance options, like a blue or green band. This way, you can avoid unnecessary fatigue and prepare your muscles for the workout to come. Once you’re warmed up, the main part of your endurance training will use an "AMRAP" format, which stands for “as many repetitions as possible” within a set time frame, typically one minute. After this minute of high-intensity work, you’ll rest for one minute before repeating. This cycle can be done for as long as you like—20 minutes, for instance—with the goal of maximizing the number of high-quality repetitions you can perform, while gradually increasing the overall volume in future sessions.
By consistently tracking the total number of repetitions you complete, you can set tangible goals for your endurance training. For instance, if you manage 200 repetitions in one session, aim for 201 the next time. This progressive approach not only helps you build your endurance but also allows you to see measurable improvements over time. Incorporating endurance training into your routine will facilitate better performance in activities like parkour, where being able to handle oxygen deprivation and lactic acid buildup is vital for success. Remember, the goal here is to enhance your ability to perform for longer periods, making endurance training an invaluable tool for any serious athlete.
- Focus on light weights and high repetitions to build endurance.
- Use the AMRAP format for structured, timed endurance workouts.
- Track your repetitions to set progressive goals and improve stamina over time.
0.06welcome to example number five this one3.36we're going to start moving towards the5.58endurance side of things7.47so we've gone through the strength and9.96with done muscular endurance11.91now it's pure endurance training and14.91we're gonna have a look at what that16.92kind of program looks like the idea19.23behind endurance training is we're using21.48up to roughly 40% of our strength so not27.51anywhere near our maximum strength is30.99going to be used but what will happen is33.719we're going to do many many repetitions36.69of this so this type of training is much39.84more towards the aerobic type of thing42.27rather than anaerobic that means that45.78we're going to be looking at doing a lot48.36less weight and a lot more repetition so52.8in this example it is going to change55.17completely we would still do our warm-up58.949and that would be something that is61.34potentially very very easy so even if in64.739this example we would be doing normal67.26pull-ups for the warm-up what I would70.5suggest actually is to look at pure73.5mechanics only and instead of using the76.259red which would start to fatigue your78.75muscles slightly I would go to blue or81.15green this way you're not going to be84.119fatiguing yourself at all all you're86.04gonna be doing is the repetition of88.92mechanics for this again not very many92.52reps not very many sets because you94.59really want to prepare yourself for96.84having to do a lot of work in the99.6training the program would consist of102.049two reps of two sets of using the blue106.14band and then we would move into doing108.93the work sets now the way this one works112.2is in this example if I was to give115.2somebody an endurance based training we118.469would do something which is called the120.45amrap and an AMRAP means as many124.38repetitions as possible okay so what129.06would happen is we would time ourselves132.39for one minute134.04and then we would give ourselves135.769one-minute rest in that minute of work139.92you are going to do as many repetitions142.439as you can of good high quality pull-ups146.939so you just keep going until that timer150.299stops once the one-minute is done you154.319then get one minute only of rest this157.59means that you're going to start feeling159.569that lactic acid buildup very very162.209quickly you'll also find that because165.329you're working very very hard to get as167.609many repetitions in your lungs are gonna170.879start getting oxygen deprived and you're173.73gonna find it harder to breathe now you176.43could set the limits in as many ways as178.95you like for example you can do this for182.93920 minutes that means that you would185.37have you would have 10 sets of doing as189.09many repetitions in each set and then 10192.329minutes also of rest as you can imagine195.419what is gonna happen is at the beginning198.389you will do pretty much your best and201.419you will have the maximum number you203.849would possibly have up front as you207.09become more tired the endurance is going210.329to start affecting you the or lactic212.31acid is gonna affect you the oxygen is214.199gonna affect you and the numbers are217.079going to decrease overall as you get to220.889the end of the 20 repetitions or the 20223.68minutes or however you want to do the226.109session what would then happen is you229.379would add up all of the repetitions so232.169the total volume of work that you did235.139overall and what you can do is in your238.199program every every session or every241.349week or whenever you want to do this243.269type of training you would try to246.03increase the volume a little bit by a248.939little bit so instead of having to add251.159weight what you're doing is you're253.62increasing repetitions so you don't need257.039to do any more extra weight with the259.739weight belt all you have to do is count261.87out the volume let's say over 20 minutes264.63you managed to get 200 you might267.35do 200 repetitions on the next training270.8session you could aim for 201 then you273.23can aim for 202 and in this sense you276.62are gonna start to find out whether278.72you're in jail endurance is increasing281.39or not as you're slowly increased goal284.93raises you can then see a definite way289.4of increasing your endurance you are291.74able to do more work with the same295.13amount of rest and the same amount of297.14time endurance training is a fantastic300.2way of training because within parkour302.75and especially movement training when305.42you are going through a route you are307.82going to start finding that the Oxford310.16oxygen deprivation and your lactic acid312.92buildup is going to slowly increase if315.65you've done endurance type training you318.62are able to sustain that for longer you321.44can go for longer you can train for323.45longer it means that you are able to do326.18things for a much much longer period of328.52time than you normally would so overall330.95a endurance based type training is333.92something you should throw in at least335.96every now and again if you're not used338to it you'll find that by extending the341.21number of reps and lowering the way you343.88are going to find that you're going to346.28be able to translate it into many other348.71types of training in parkour

1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000 welcome to example number five this one 2 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:07,000 we're going to start moving towards the 3 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,000 endurance side of things 4 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,000 so we've gone through the strength and 5 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:13,000 with done muscular endurance 6 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:16,000 now it's pure endurance training and 7 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,000 we're gonna have a look at what that 8 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:20,000 kind of program looks like the idea 9 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:27,000 behind endurance training is we're using 10 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:30,000 up to roughly 40% of our strength so not 11 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:33,000 anywhere near our maximum strength is 12 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:35,000 going to be used but what will happen is 13 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:39,000 we're going to do many many repetitions 14 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:41,000 of this so this type of training is much 15 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:44,000 more towards the aerobic type of thing 16 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:48,000 rather than anaerobic that means that 17 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:52,000 we're going to be looking at doing a lot 18 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:54,000 less weight and a lot more repetition so 19 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:58,000 in this example it is going to change 20 00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:01,000 completely we would still do our warm-up 21 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:03,000 and that would be something that is 22 00:00:61,000 --> 00:01:06,000 potentially very very easy so even if in 23 00:00:64,000 --> 00:01:09,000 this example we would be doing normal 24 00:00:67,000 --> 00:01:13,000 pull-ups for the warm-up what I would 25 00:00:70,000 --> 00:01:15,000 suggest actually is to look at pure 26 00:00:73,000 --> 00:01:18,000 mechanics only and instead of using the 27 00:00:76,000 --> 00:01:20,000 red which would start to fatigue your 28 00:00:78,000 --> 00:01:23,000 muscles slightly I would go to blue or 29 00:00:81,000 --> 00:01:25,000 green this way you're not going to be 30 00:00:84,000 --> 00:01:28,000 fatiguing yourself at all all you're 31 00:00:86,000 --> 00:01:32,000 gonna be doing is the repetition of 32 00:00:88,000 --> 00:01:33,000 mechanics for this again not very many 33 00:00:92,000 --> 00:01:36,000 reps not very many sets because you 34 00:00:94,000 --> 00:01:39,000 really want to prepare yourself for 35 00:00:96,000 --> 00:01:41,000 having to do a lot of work in the 36 00:00:99,000 --> 00:01:45,000 training the program would consist of 37 00:00:102,000 --> 00:01:48,000 two reps of two sets of using the blue 38 00:00:106,000 --> 00:01:52,000 band and then we would move into doing 39 00:00:108,000 --> 00:01:54,000 the work sets now the way this one works 40 00:00:112,000 --> 00:01:58,000 is in this example if I was to give 41 00:00:115,000 --> 00:01:60,000 somebody an endurance based training we 42 00:00:118,000 --> 00:01:63,000 would do something which is called the 43 00:00:120,000 --> 00:01:68,000 amrap and an AMRAP means as many 44 00:00:124,000 --> 00:01:72,000 repetitions as possible okay so what 45 00:00:129,000 --> 00:01:73,000 would happen is we would time ourselves 46 00:00:132,000 --> 00:01:75,000 for one minute 47 00:00:134,000 --> 00:01:79,000 and then we would give ourselves 48 00:00:135,000 --> 00:01:81,000 one-minute rest in that minute of work 49 00:00:139,000 --> 00:01:86,000 you are going to do as many repetitions 50 00:00:142,000 --> 00:01:89,000 as you can of good high quality pull-ups 51 00:00:146,000 --> 00:01:93,000 so you just keep going until that timer 52 00:00:150,000 --> 00:01:97,000 stops once the one-minute is done you 53 00:00:154,000 --> 00:01:99,000 then get one minute only of rest this 54 00:00:157,000 --> 00:01:101,000 means that you're going to start feeling 55 00:00:159,000 --> 00:01:104,000 that lactic acid buildup very very 56 00:00:162,000 --> 00:01:107,000 quickly you'll also find that because 57 00:00:165,000 --> 00:01:110,000 you're working very very hard to get as 58 00:00:167,000 --> 00:01:113,000 many repetitions in your lungs are gonna 59 00:00:170,000 --> 00:01:115,000 start getting oxygen deprived and you're 60 00:00:173,000 --> 00:01:118,000 gonna find it harder to breathe now you 61 00:00:176,000 --> 00:01:122,000 could set the limits in as many ways as 62 00:00:178,000 --> 00:01:124,000 you like for example you can do this for 63 00:00:182,000 --> 00:01:128,000 20 minutes that means that you would 64 00:00:185,000 --> 00:01:131,000 have you would have 10 sets of doing as 65 00:00:189,000 --> 00:01:135,000 many repetitions in each set and then 10 66 00:00:192,000 --> 00:01:138,000 minutes also of rest as you can imagine 67 00:00:195,000 --> 00:01:141,000 what is gonna happen is at the beginning 68 00:00:198,000 --> 00:01:143,000 you will do pretty much your best and 69 00:00:201,000 --> 00:01:146,000 you will have the maximum number you 70 00:00:203,000 --> 00:01:149,000 would possibly have up front as you 71 00:00:207,000 --> 00:01:152,000 become more tired the endurance is going 72 00:00:210,000 --> 00:01:153,000 to start affecting you the or lactic 73 00:00:212,000 --> 00:01:156,000 acid is gonna affect you the oxygen is 74 00:00:214,000 --> 00:01:160,000 gonna affect you and the numbers are 75 00:00:217,000 --> 00:01:163,000 going to decrease overall as you get to 76 00:00:220,000 --> 00:01:165,000 the end of the 20 repetitions or the 20 77 00:00:223,000 --> 00:01:168,000 minutes or however you want to do the 78 00:00:226,000 --> 00:01:172,000 session what would then happen is you 79 00:00:229,000 --> 00:01:174,000 would add up all of the repetitions so 80 00:00:232,000 --> 00:01:178,000 the total volume of work that you did 81 00:00:235,000 --> 00:01:181,000 overall and what you can do is in your 82 00:00:238,000 --> 00:01:183,000 program every every session or every 83 00:00:241,000 --> 00:01:185,000 week or whenever you want to do this 84 00:00:243,000 --> 00:01:188,000 type of training you would try to 85 00:00:246,000 --> 00:01:191,000 increase the volume a little bit by a 86 00:00:248,000 --> 00:01:192,000 little bit so instead of having to add 87 00:00:251,000 --> 00:01:196,000 weight what you're doing is you're 88 00:00:253,000 --> 00:01:199,000 increasing repetitions so you don't need 89 00:00:257,000 --> 00:01:201,000 to do any more extra weight with the 90 00:00:259,000 --> 00:01:203,000 weight belt all you have to do is count 91 00:00:261,000 --> 00:01:206,000 out the volume let's say over 20 minutes 92 00:00:264,000 --> 00:01:210,000 you managed to get 200 you might 93 00:00:267,000 --> 00:01:212,000 do 200 repetitions on the next training 94 00:00:270,000 --> 00:01:215,000 session you could aim for 201 then you 95 00:00:273,000 --> 00:01:218,000 can aim for 202 and in this sense you 96 00:00:276,000 --> 00:01:220,000 are gonna start to find out whether 97 00:00:278,000 --> 00:01:224,000 you're in jail endurance is increasing 98 00:00:281,000 --> 00:01:229,000 or not as you're slowly increased goal 99 00:00:284,000 --> 00:01:230,000 raises you can then see a definite way 100 00:00:289,000 --> 00:01:234,000 of increasing your endurance you are 101 00:00:291,000 --> 00:01:236,000 able to do more work with the same 102 00:00:295,000 --> 00:01:240,000 amount of rest and the same amount of 103 00:00:297,000 --> 00:01:242,000 time endurance training is a fantastic 104 00:00:300,000 --> 00:01:245,000 way of training because within parkour 105 00:00:302,000 --> 00:01:247,000 and especially movement training when 106 00:00:305,000 --> 00:01:249,000 you are going through a route you are 107 00:00:307,000 --> 00:01:252,000 going to start finding that the Oxford 108 00:00:310,000 --> 00:01:255,000 oxygen deprivation and your lactic acid 109 00:00:312,000 --> 00:01:257,000 buildup is going to slowly increase if 110 00:00:315,000 --> 00:01:260,000 you've done endurance type training you 111 00:00:318,000 --> 00:01:262,000 are able to sustain that for longer you 112 00:00:321,000 --> 00:01:265,000 can go for longer you can train for 113 00:00:323,000 --> 00:01:268,000 longer it means that you are able to do 114 00:00:326,000 --> 00:01:270,000 things for a much much longer period of 115 00:00:328,000 --> 00:01:273,000 time than you normally would so overall 116 00:00:330,000 --> 00:01:275,000 a endurance based type training is 117 00:00:333,000 --> 00:01:277,000 something you should throw in at least 118 00:00:335,000 --> 00:01:280,000 every now and again if you're not used 119 00:00:338,000 --> 00:01:283,000 to it you'll find that by extending the 120 00:00:341,000 --> 00:01:286,000 number of reps and lowering the way you 121 00:00:343,000 --> 00:01:287,000 are going to find that you're going to 122 00:00:346,000 --> 00:01:291,000 be able to translate it into many other 123 00:00:348,000 --> 00:01:293,000 types of training in parkour and 124 00:00:351,000 --> 00:01:293,000 movement 125 00:00:360,000 --> 00:01:302,000 you
