because being strong and out of breath isn’t the move.
You lift. You eat clean. But if your heart and lungs can’t keep up — your results, energy, and recovery suffer.
1. Boosts Heart Health & Longevity
Cardio strengthens the most important muscle in your body — your heart.
A stronger heart means better circulation, lower blood pressure, and a longer, more energized life.
2. Supports Fat Loss
Cardio increases total daily energy burn, making it a powerful tool for fat loss — especially when combined with solid nutrition and strength training.
3. Speeds Up Recovery Between Sets
The better your cardiovascular fitness, the faster you recover between lifts.
That means more volume, intensity, and output during strength sessions.
4. Boosts Mental Clarity & Mood
Cardio releases endorphins, lowers stress, and sharpens focus. Whether it’s a run, walk, or bike ride — you come back mentally recharged.
5. Doesn’t Have to Mean Long, Boring Sessions
You don’t need to run marathons.
- LISS (Low Intensity Steady State): Great for fat loss & recovery
- HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training): Quick, efficient, and time-saving
- Zone 2 Training: Improves endurance and overall aerobic capacity
Pro Tip:
Aim for 3–4 cardio sessions per week:
- 1–2 low-intensity walks (30–45 mins)
- 1 HIIT or interval session (20–30 mins)
- Optional: 1 longer endurance session (bike, rower, jog, stairs)
Keep it fun. Keep it sustainable.
