Mistake 1: Going Full Sprint on Day 1 Cardio strength destroys your central nervous system. Your first session should feel "hard but manageable." If you vomit, you went too hard. Aim for an 8/10 intensity, not a 10/10.
Pros
- No equipment needed — truly minimal. Variations for pull-ups (e.g., table rows) are suggested.
- Clear progression — intervals (e.g., 30s work / 15s rest) and session lengths (15–30 min) ramp up over 4–6 weeks.
- Time-efficient — most sessions under 30 minutes, ideal for busy schedules.
- No gym membership — bodyweight focus works anywhere.
- Good for hybrid conditioning — blends aerobic and muscular endurance better than pure strength or pure cardio plans.
