Cardio for Lifters
- Incorporate cardio to become a healthier, more capable athlete, even if you lift weights regularly.
- Focus on raising your aerobic "floor" with low-intensity, long-duration cardio before raising the "roof" with high-intensity efforts.
Common Cardio Mistakes
- Most people do cardio at a threshold pace, suffering through it without enjoyment.
- They focus on raising the "roof" of their fitness, neglecting the benefits of raising the "floor" through aerobic exercise.
Beginner Running Advice
