Think hybrid training is just for elite athletes or that cardio will kill your gains? Think again. If you've been stuck choosing between being strong OR having good cardio, this episode will change everything. I'm back with Dr. Alyssa Olenick (Doc Lyss), exercise physiologist and hybrid training expert, to break down what hybrid training actually is, why the fitness industry loves to pit strength against cardio, and how you can train for multiple goals without sacrificing your gains. We dive into why most people aren't doing enough cardio to actually interfere with their strength, how to structure your week when you only have 3-4 days to train, and Alyssa's no-nonsense approach to recovery. Plus, we tackle the biggest misconceptions holding people back and why "failure is feedback" might be the mindset shift you need. Dr. Alyssa Olenick is an exercise physiologist with a PhD in Exercise Metabolism and Female Physiology, ultramarathon runner, and hybrid training coach. She's all about evidence-based, no-nonsense training that helps people get stronger AND fitter. If you're ready to stop choosing sides in the cardio vs. strength debate, this episode is for you.
