Many lifters skip cardio for fear of losing muscle. In moderation, it does the opposite: it improves blood flow, recovery and work capacity.

Add two easy 25-minute sessions a week on rest days, at a pace where you can still talk.

You will recover faster between sets and handle more training volume over time.
