If you can do that stuff consistently, over time you're going to get there.

You're going to be just fine.

Where we see problems are people that put themselves in a position of scarcity.

You feel like you never get to do the thing you want to do.

And this is a psychological thing, right?

Totally.

Which causes the yo-yo effect.

Which causes the problem of consistency and adherence over time, right?

So making sure you do that.

I personally have some go-to standards I like to do.

I'll happily share that with you.

I tend to like to have a decent balance between kind of our anaerobic strength training, high heart rate stuff, and our more steady state, longer duration stuff.

So if someone's going to be able to work out three times per week, I'm probably doing one thing where we're going long durations.

call it a hike, call it a swim, call it a run, whatever we can do.

And then the other two days, I'm probably doing a combination of lifting and then probably finishing with some high heart rate.

thing right so we'll do like a little bit of strength and hypertrophy muscle growth work and then we'll do a circuit or an aerosol bike or some sprints or like what can we get you into it's like really really hard if i can get you an environment where you're working out with some other human i love that is there any reason why you do the strength first and then absolutely that's a great question if you do strength training before endurance work i'm

Your strength training will not compromise your endurance.

In fact, sometimes it exacerbates it.

If you do your endurance first, you're going to be more fatigued and you're going to lose strength and still have worse performance in your strength training.

I think it is exciting what's coming in the world of human health.
