So what should your cardio actually look like?
Start with intervals — the length depends on what you’re training to achieve.
Longer intervals build your base. Shorter, faster intervals build explosiveness.
→ Speed/power: 10-20 sec sprints, 1-3 min rest
→ Repeat-sprint ability: 20-30 sec efforts, 30-60 sec rest
→ Aerobic power: 2-4 min hard efforts, similar rest
You don’t need to do this every day. Once or twice a week alongside your normal training makes a real difference.
Same principles elite athletes use — just scaled for real life.
