Concurrent Training

Concurrent training refers to combining different types of exercise, typically strength training (lifting weights) and endurance activities (like running or cycling), in a single workout program. This approach aims to improve both muscle strength and cardiovascular fitness simultaneously. While beneficial, it requires careful planning to balance the intensity and volume of each activity so they complement each other without causing excessive fatigue or compromising progress. Effective concurrent training can lead to improved overall fitness, functional performance, and metabolic health when integrated thoughtfully into a balanced exercise routine.
