today's workout
Lifting heavy things is more metabolically taxing than most people realize.
Most people think of weight training as a purely anaerobic enterprise, but the majority of the energy you use to train is produced by your aerobic energy system.
Cardiovascular training can improve your recovery between sets and workouts, and won’t interfere with strength or muscle gains if you do it correctly.
Low intensity cardio should be prioritized over interval training for the most part.
