Per this article in Shape Magazine, adding altitude/elevation to your workout will increase the flow of oxygen to your muscles.
If you live at sea-level, adding altitude/elevation may seem impossible. However, that is exactly what we do at Gym For The Brain. In fact, of the 7 recommendations made in the article, we incorporate 6 of them at Gym For The Brain (we leave the sand at the beach!).
Altitude/Hypoxic Training Delivers More Oxygen
Per this National Library of Medicine article reporting a study of elite athletes, altitude/hypoxic training, like what we do at Gym For The Brain, appears more effective than sea-level training for improvement of oxygen delivery capacity and aerobic exercise capacity.
