NOTE

Maximize Cardio Adaptations with High-Intensity Training

To maximize cardio adaptations, it is essential to push beyond the comfort zone with high-intensity training. Similar to resistance training, the closer you get to failure, the more benefits you reap. High-output levels during cardio workouts lead to significant adaptations compared to low-intensity exercises like walking. To enhance speed, power, skill, and endurance, incorporating high-intensity cardio sessions is crucial. It is recommended to include at least one endurance cardio session per week with a high heart rate for a minimum of half an hour. It is also beneficial to aim for maximum heart rates periodically for optimal adaptations. High-end cardio, endurance cardio, and moderate to high volume cardio in zones two and three are essential components for a well-rounded cardio routine.
