Cardio Demystified: Not Just for Fat Loss - Kayvman Show Episode 19
In episode 19 of the Kayvman Show, explore the true role of cardio in your fitness regimen. Contrary to popular belief, cardio shouldn't be your primary method for fat loss. While it aids in burning calories, its main purpose is heart health improvement. Discover the 'double lollipop' approach balancing high intensity interval training (HIIT) and low intensity steady state (LISS) cardio. High intensity exercises like sprints and MMA strengthen the heart, while low intensity activities like walking and swimming boost vascular health. Learn why long, moderate exercises aren't necessary and how a focused approach to high and low intensity intervals can optimize your fitness program.
