Already the days are flying by! You will find this happens and you start to see that every day really counts. Today I want to quickly bring up the choice of cardio for this program, which is, of course, low-impact cardio rather than something like high-intensity intervals. While in a calorie deficit, where you’re more prone to stress, cortisol, catabolism and lower anabolic hormone production, I don’t want to introduce another form of stress.
Low-impact cardio is a great way of burning my way through the calories without adding too much stress so I can burn body fat and not muscle.
What low-impact cardio machines do you prefer?Tag me on your socials with #HardcoreTrainer2 and let me know!
Now let’s go and hammer arms!
