0:00.0	What's going on, Beaches? Welcome to the Daily Soul podcast. Episode 3229 today, we're talking a little bit about cardio.
0:07.4	Now, I know a lot of you are thinking cardio. I don't speak Spanish, but heart health is very important. And there's a lot of ways to improve your heart health.
0:15.1	Now, for me, I like to focus on my strength training. I think everyone should be focusing on building muscle because it's hard and it's going to be overall the best thing for you physically and physiologically. Now, there are ways
0:26.3	you could do your cardio, but I recommend for anyone that wants to do cardio at the same time that they're

1:25.2	We talked about intensity, frequency, and volume.
1:27.8	If you are on a recovery day or a day where you're supposed to be aiding in recovery from fatigue
