Today’s cardio workout will give you a nice break from weights. LISS stands for low intensity steady state cardio and it’s the type of cardio I’m recommending today. Very often, we think harder and longer are best when it comes to achieving our fitness goals. However, rest and recovery is a critical part of the plan.
One of the great things about LISS is that you can get in a great workout, work on endurance and heart health AND allow the muscles to repair from weight training.
Personally, I struggle with LISS because I get bored pretty easily. I’ve found a trick that does work for me, which is to complete 3 different types of LISS in 1 workout. For example, if the workout is 30 minutes of LISS, I’ll bike for 10 minutes, jog for 10 minutes and do stairs at a moderate pace for 10 minutes. It really breaks it up and keeps my focus. Try that out if you have a lack of LISS motivation!
COMPLETE 30 MINUTES OF LOW INTENSITY, STEADY STATE CARDIO (ex: walking, jogging, biking, elliptical, stairs, cardio machine of choice, etc.)
(PLYOMETRIC WORKOUT FOUND IN THE GLUTE GUIDE AS PART OF THE PREMIUM CHALLENGE PACK)
My Training Recommendation: complete 15 minutes instead of 30 minutes of LISS as well as the complete plyometric workout
