Yeah. Why? Because, you know, again, the intensity of my training is not that high, at least three days a week. So the three resistance days are pretty hard because I'm really only doing each body part once a week. So when I'm doing it, I'm really... I'll spend that 90 minutes really kind of hammering those body parts. Three of those days are just zone two.

So three of my four cardio days are zone two days where I'm doing, you know, I'm on a bike and I am riding at... a level of intensity that actually allows me to still talk. Not talk like I am now, but talking in sort of a strained way. So for me, that's about a heart rate of 140 beats per minute. And that's just not taking a huge toll on me. Those are almost like recovery days for me.

And then one day a week, I do a really, really hard VO2 max day. And that's a really hard day. That burns a lot of matches. That's tomorrow. Not looking forward to it already.

No, I don't. So it's four days of cardio, three days of resistance. Now, that's going to change in the summer when I'm going to add three days of swimming.

It wouldn't really serve a purpose. So I know a lot of people do that. I know a lot of people will say, hey, I'm going to do a little bit of a warm up on this treadmill or the step master before I lift. But I actually have a pretty strong point of view on how we should warm up to lift.

And I don't think walking on the treadmill or running on the treadmill or being on the stair master on the bike is a great prep for the lift. I think it's better to warm up for a lift doing movements that prepare you to lift. So for example, like if it's a leg day, so Monday's leg day, right? So what am I going to do? I'm going to start by doing a bunch of core stabilizing stuff.

So I'm going to do a whole bunch of this dynamic neuromuscular stabilization stuff. So you get into basically these baby positions and you really learn to activate your core as you move around in a six-month position and stuff like that. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
