Good info, thanks for sharing. Are you knowledgeable about how much time to spend on cardio and strength training per week for optimal heart health? It's difficult to find reliable information about this subject.

Some claim that elevating one's heart rate (170+ BPM for late 20s individual) for 20-30 minutes three times a week is a good 80/20 solution for aerobic exercise. My current routine is to lift for 50 minutes MWF, jog for 45 minutes Tuesday, interval sprint for 25 minutes Thursday, and take a long hike Saturday. I also bike to work MWF (11 miles round trip) and walk 12k steps a day, so I figure that cancels the need for a third weekly intense aerobic exercise session. Curious to know if you have any heart health improvement suggestions.

If you don't have a particular special goal, a spectrum is good. I think yours sounds OK. Some weights, some jogging, some sprints.

My conditioning requirements basically are to get my breath back within 90 seconds of attempting a 1RM snatch / clean & jerk, so most of my conditioning is timed KB swings.
