In this episode, we dive into hybrid training, which is all the rave right now. We point out that hybrid training doesn’t have to mean running, and that your goals should guide your approach. Bryan shares how cutting back on both cardio and lifting volume has worked wonders for him. We also talk about picking the right modality for you and the benefits of zone two training for health. Starting slow and ramping up intensity is key, and it’s important to adjust based on feedback and potentially even getting some lactate testing done. We also go over how to track progress in cardio training and discuss the challenges of balancing strength and cardio. We share tips on using lower rep ranges for better body composition and performance, plus how to structure your workouts for the best results.
