Like there is that resistance that you feel both physiologically but also mentally.
Like there's a lot of things you're trying to correct for in your life.
So I usually tell beginners, don't worry about doing it all, right?
You can start with a cardio program and a resistance training program, but like what will you start with and what will get you in the gym and what will get you moving?
For some people, the intimidation of lifting feels really
scary.
I'm like, okay, can we get you and start doing some cardio?
And then you can
look at the weight room and see what's going on and feel comfortable in the gym and build that habit and then merge to that.
For some people, I say, hey, if you have no strength, no baseline capacity, no muscle, you're you're gonna be okay if you don't do cardio for the first, I don't know, month or two.
while you build that skills and that foundation.
I think there's this idea that, well, if you haven't been doing it, well now you need to do it perfectly tomorrow or it doesn't count.
And I don't have that philosophy.
I think beginners should start where they're willing.
What feels the most realistic, most accessible, but then have a plan long term to start integrating the two together.
Because we know that muscle.
Obviously, anyone listening to this podcast knows muscle is really, really important for health.
We want strength, we want power, we want bone density, we want capacity.
But also, we know that parameters of cardiovascular fitness are heavily tied to long-term health outcomes.
So, how do we get you to do both in a way that's realistic for you?
