Conditioning That Doesn’t Suck
Short, sharp sessions that actually move the needle. Conditioning doesn’t have to mean endless burpees or hour-long slogs. The right dose hits hard, recovers fast, and makes everything else — strength, sport, and daily life — feel easier.
Keep It Simple, Not Softer
Pick one tool: a rower, bike, or your own bodyweight. Work in short intervals where you can go hard without breaking form. Think 30 seconds on, 90 off — repeat for 6–8 rounds. Done right, that’s plenty.
Find Your Gear
Conditioning should feel like gears, not chaos. Easy days build recovery, moderate days build endurance, hard days test it. Stay in control, and you’ll actually get fitter instead of just tired.
Progress the Effort, Not the Pain
Track your pace, wattage, or distance each week. Add a round or trim rest slightly — but only when recovery allows. Progress is progression, even when it’s invisible on the stopwatch.
The best conditioning is the kind you’ll repeat. Short, clear, and hard enough to matter — not miserable enough to skip. Keep it simple, finish strong, and move on with your day.
