Strength and cardio each offer distinct benefits. A balanced week gives you both without overtraining.
What each does
Strength training preserves muscle and supports metabolism; cardio benefits your heart and endurance.
A simple split
Two to three strength sessions plus two cardio sessions a week is a solid, sustainable template for most people.
Listen to your body
Recovery is part of the plan. Space hard sessions apart and let sore muscles rest.
