Shhhh 🤫 trainer secrets to get you stronger and better cardio!

Should you do cardio/conditioning before or after weight training?

Answer for 95% of people looking to get healthier and fit, either works great first. Unless you're a bodybuilder, power lifter, endurance athlete, etc. It doesn't matter because you'll get the benefits of both worlds.

Ideally, we want to dedicate days to just strength and weight lifting and just cardio on separate days but if you're crunched for time your best bet is to throw in 5-10 minutes of high intensity interval training at the end of a strength session.

High-intensity interval training doesn't mean you have to get to 100% of your max HR it's actually closer to 85%. This is much more sustainable and doable in the long run and allows you to get the benefits, get better, and have some energy left in the tank to take on the rest of your day and recover enough to go back at it for your next session.

If you're not a big fan of cardio but you know you need to do something, try moving it up earlier in your workout. 8 rounds of 10 seconds on and 20 seconds of rest is enough to get the job done. You'll be thoroughly warmed up for the rest of the workout and can check that box off. You might even look forward to it next time.

How to structure a total body program that gets you stronger without burning you out and keeps you pain-free.

Always warm up: foam roll, mobility drills, body weight, or light-weight compound movements like push-ups and squats.

Get athletic: agility drills, dynamic movements, skip, jump, punch, power!

Heavy movements first: this is the primary focus of the day and gives you the most bang for your buck. Squat, hinge, lunge, push, pull. Heavy loads and low reps for example 3-6.

Secondary movements: these complement your heavy lifts, for example, if you do a heavy chest press you'll want to do a pulling motion. These are in a medium rep range like 8-12 reps, but should still be a challenge.

Accessory or pump movements: finish with the remaining patterns left or focus on a pump like glutes or biceps. Higher rep ranges here like 15-25+. You can mix it up and try drop sets and or pyramid sets.

Why I started strength training and how I help others do it too!

Uber excited to share these Q&A's!

I think it'll be really helpful to share who I am and how I train my clients. There are a ton of gyms and studios and they all have their own spin and take on fitness, strength training, methods etc. It can be overwhelming and confusing to figure out the right option.

Not all gyms and trainers are the same which means a totally different experience for each person and each location. What really matters is what works for you and finding the right fit. It may take a minute but it's so worth it to help keep your health and fitness in check or take it to the next level. Hopefully, this series helps you figure out if this would be the right fit for you.

We focus on semi-private personal training and 1-on-1 personal training, where everyone gets a customized plan specific to what they want and need. We track your progress and actively coach you, which means the plan adapts with you in real time. Every rep matters and is coached until you're executing it perfectly and safely.

It's hard to say what it really is until you experience it so DM with questions or set up a time to come in and check it out. No pressure, no commitments.
