Instructions: 
This exercise is done preferably on a fitness machine (e.g. treadmill) or an athletic track. It can also be modified to apply to other types of areas (e.g. football field). The point is to gradually build up the distance that the individual is running, which can be more efficient for building endurance. This exercise is helpful for individuals who play sports (e.g. rugby, soccer) since it more consistantly simulates game play.
