Cardio, Weights and Stretching: What You Actually Need

All lessons

When you know what each one does, you stop skipping any of them.

This is one of my favorite lessons. Most people walk into a gym with a vague idea that they should do some cardio and maybe lift a weight or two, but they don't know why. In this lesson I'll tell you what strength training, cardio and stretching each do for your body, including a few things that surprise people, and show you the program I built so you never have to guess.

In this lesson

• Why strength training may be the single most important thing you can do for your long-term health (and no, it won't make you bulky)
• What cardio does well, and the one thing it can't do on its own
• Why stretching is the part everyone skips and everyone regrets skipping
• How the Sunshine Fitness strength training program works, step by step
