i know that apnoetraining in the water will help most, so i train 2 times a week.
but there are times, when i dont have the chance to train in the pool and i want an alternative then. apnoewalking i do sometimes also.
as i remember i have seen an interview with herbert nitsch and he does quite regular gym training when he cant get in the water.
also mandy-rea cruickshank says on her homepage that she does gym training
(
Mandy-Rae Cruickshank)
pellizari in his book tells about the gym training too.
so i think gym training cant replace apneatraining, but it can be a good addition or alternative for the times, when you dont have the chance for apnea trining in the water.
@ spearstudtx
i tried it today in the gym. sprints and walking was really hard.
unfortunately i can only "program" the crosstrainer in intervalls that are the same, like 1 minute running, 1 minute walking. today i started much to fast so i was tired to early. i will try next time in the manual mode like you said (30sec running, 1 minute walking, for 20 minutes). should i increase the level of resistance in the sprint interval?
if i will make it, shold i increase the total time (20min), the running time or the walking time?
Thanks for the help
