Elliptical Protocol for Increasing VO2 Max-

Warm-Up:- 5 minutes at easy pace (gradually increase effort to get your heart rate up)Main Set (Intervals):- and 25-30 seconds all-out sprint (90–95% of your maximum effort)- 90-120 seconds slow, easy recovery (barely moving, catch your breath)- Repeat for 8–10 roundsCool-Down:- 5 minutes very easy pace.

Why This Works:- True VO2 max training happens above 90% of your max heart rate.- Short 25-30s sprints force your body to adapt to delivering more oxygen.- Longer 90s-120s rests allow you to recover enough to hit every sprint hard.

Progression Tips:- Shorten rest times (e.g., 30s sprint / 60s recovery)- Increase number of intervals- Try 40 second sprints at 90–95% effort with 30-60s recovery.

Example Weekly Schedule:- 2-3 HIIT sessions per week (e.g., Tuesday and Friday)- Fill other days with lower-intensity cardio or resistance training- Focus on intensity during HIIT and recovery between sessions.

Quick Summary:Warm up, then perform 25-30s all-out sprint / 90-120s easy recovery for 8–10 rounds, 2-3x per week.
