According to The Huberman Lab Podcast, what is the most beneficial resistance training routine for someone who runs 4x per week, swims 2x per week, and has 3 slots of 30-60 minute resistance training sessions available, with the goals of reducing body fat and maintaining and building skeletal muscle across the body?
According to Dr. Andy Galpin in the episodes Dr. Andy Galpin: Optimize Your Training Program for Fitness & Longevity | Huberman Lab Guest Series and Annual Training Cycle, how would he recommend structuring and creating a plan for resistance, strength, and weight training to improve muscular endurance goals, such as being able to do more sit-ups and push-ups under 1 minute, while training calisthenics and muscular endurance with bodyweight workouts and 1-hour runs on a Monday-Wednesday-Friday schedule?
Is there any reference to an ideal weekly weights and running plan that includes the following? Three Days of Resistance Training - Emphasize compound movements (e.g. squats, deadlifts, presses). - Vary rep ranges (strength vs. hypertrophy vs. power). - Ensure progressive overload and proper recovery. One or Two Days of Longer, Low-Intensity Cardiovascular Training (“Zone 2”) - Typically 30–60 minutes of steady effort (e.g. jogging, cycling, rowing). - Heart rate stays in a conversational range (about 60–70% of your max). One Day of High-Intensity or Sprint Interval Training - Short bursts near max effort (e.g. 20–30 seconds all-out sprints), followed by rest or very easy effort, repeated for multiple rounds. (Optional) Mobility / Skill / Active Recovery Session - Can be yoga, foam rolling, or dedicated movement practice. - Helps with flexibility, balance, and injury prevention.
