High Rise is a VO2 max development program structured around high intensity aerobic intervals proven to produce significant cardiovascular adaptations. Each session follows a precise work to rest model designed to push your heart rate into the upper training zones where real aerobic gains are made, then allow just enough recovery to do it again. Over weeks of consistent training, expect measurable improvements in maximal oxygen uptake, sustained work capacity, and recovery speed between efforts. This is the kind of cardio work that translates directly to fire ground performance. Stair climbs, hose drags, victim removal. Anywhere the job demands output and your lungs have to keep up.

**By purchasing and participating in any Ignite Athletic Performance program you acknowledge that physical training carries inherent risks including injury, and that you assume full responsibility for your own health and safety during training. Consult a physician before beginning any new program. Ignite Athletic Performance and its coaches are not liable for any injury or adverse outcome resulting from participation. Results will vary based on individual effort and experience.
