Strength and cardio each offer distinct benefits. A balanced week gives you both without overtraining.

What each does

Strength training preserves muscle and supports metabolism; cardio benefits your heart and endurance.

Two to three strength sessions plus two cardio sessions a week is a solid, sustainable template for most people.

Recovery is part of the plan. Space hard sessions apart and let sore muscles rest.
