WEEK 9 Train – Cardio
Key points:
- There’s no need to add any extra cardio unless it’s planned into your programme
- The best results come from weight training so it should always be a priority
- When you do have cardio in your programme, it can be tagged onto the end of your weights sessions or done on a separate day
- We would recommend HIIT over LISS when it comes to cardio
LISS:
- Low intensity steady state
- Slow paced
- Same pace throughout
- Long duration
- Can lead to muscle loss
- Doesn’t boost metabolism
HIIT:
- High intensity interval training
- Fast paced
- Switch between high and low intensity
- Short duration
- Burns more calories in the same time
- Boosts metabolism (but less than weights)
Choose any form of cardio you like:
- Running
- Gym machines
- Muscle building cardio with weights
- Skipping
- Hill running
- Circuit training
- Youtube workouts
- Classes
