And there's a lot of strength training at the beginning, progressively working up, you know, heavier weights and different types of compound lifts.
But typically at the end of the workout, it'll be like a 15 or 20 minute workout.
And it incorporates, you know, these exercises.
What you're basically saying, you know, squats or deadlifts or these types of strength training and resistance training exercises that do increase heart rate, that are improving muscle mass, improving strength, improving function.
But then it incorporates like some rowing or biking along with it.
