1.2 Thursday | Home

 

I look forward to this day! Doing LISS is the MOST beneficial movement you can do for your body every day! Find a good podcast, turn on Netflix, and enjoy!

35 Minutes LISS

CARDIO

35 minutes

Feel free to do any form of Steady State Cardio you’d like here. Light jog, Biking, walking, incline walking, stairmaster or a mix of all of them.

The How: Focus on keeping a steady and continuous effort at a fixed intensity. Key word FIXED! Find that speed you can maintain. Enjoy a show, a podcast or maybe a chat with a girlfriend.

The Why:
1) LISS is shown to directly use a greater percentage of calories from fat rather than glycogen.

2) Provides active recovery to help recovery from resistance training

3) Less taxing on the CNS and muscular system

4) Easier on joints, ligaments and tendons
