Engaging in both strength training and cardio is beneficial for overall health. High-intensity interval cardio can be effective for improving stamina while preserving muscle mass. Interval sprints at 85-100% max heart rate can be a good choice. Ensure proper recovery and fuel your body before and after intense intervals to support muscle preservation.
Consider personal fitness goals when choosing cardio activities. High-intensity intervals are effective for athletic stamina but can be taxing on recovery. Low-intensity cardio, like walking or hiking, is great for overall movement and health. Cardio activity should align with individual objectives and priorities.
Introduce cardio that enhances cardiovascular health and performance without compromising strength training progress. For a strength-focused individual, high-intensity interval cardio, such as short sprints, can help improve stamina and heart health. Balance the intensity to prevent excessive fatigue and support muscle preservation.
Modify cardio activities based on personal fitness goals to strike a balance between strength gains and cardiovascular health. High-intensity interval training can be beneficial for stamina and cardiovascular fitness while maintaining muscle mass. Ensure proper recovery and nutrition to optimize performance and muscle preservation.
