Brad, Jeff, and Brian discuss when, how, and why they program cardio for themselves and their athletes. How do the coaches view and prescribe cardio during a fat-loss phase? What are the coaches’ thoughts on doing additional cardiovascular exercise for overall health? What is the benefit of having a step goal over a calories-burned goal? What is the highest the coaches typically program someone’s step goal? Do the coaches ever use cardio as a way to stimulate an athlete’s appetite during a gaining phase? What are the coaches’ thoughts on HIIT cardio? Why do the coaches like to have their athletes taper their cardio/step count at the end of prep? The answers to these questions and many more are covered in this episode.
