Episode 2770 – Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss getting the most bang for your buck when doing cardio and strength training, and more.
Bang for Your Buck
- Vinnie had a consult with a woman focused on ultra-running who trains hard. However, the harder she trains, the harder it becomes to succeed. (2:45)
- Vinnie (and other coaches she has hired) has told her she’s training too hard.
- She needs to focus on what she’s doing when she’s *not* in the game. (14:00)
- He uses his own training history as an example.
- Optimal training happens in Zone 2, low and slow. (21:00)
- Training with a planned “down” schedule helps your body recover better and build endurance. (27:00)
- The process is similar when doing anaerobic exercises (weight training). (28:45)
- It makes sense to scale up cardio, then bring it back down, but how does that work for strength training? (31:50)
- Vinnie’s workouts follow a periodization plan, which allows for proper recovery between workouts.
- What should people be doing on their “rest” days? (37:00)
- Doing aerobics, like a good walk, is “active rest.”
- Mobility exercises are an option as well.
- Pilates is good for strength, but it also works the body differently, so adjusting Pilates workouts may be necessary to accommodate weight-training workouts. Meaning, you don’t want to focus on the same muscle groups two days in a row. (38:00)
- Vinnie advises what to do on your “off” days to get the most bang for your buck. (43:00)
- You can usually find used equipment on places like Facebook Marketplace.
- Interval training is also a good addition. (47:00)
- He explains what a “four by four” is, which is a form of HIIT (high-intensity interval training).
