What is your favorite type of workout?

For me, it’s a hybrid style of training — combining running and lifting.

I love the balance of it. You get the strength and muscle-building benefits from lifting, while also building endurance, conditioning, and heart health through running. It keeps workouts from feeling repetitive and challenges your body in different ways.

A few things I love about hybrid training:

• Builds both strength AND endurance

• Burns a lot of calories

• Improves overall athleticism

• Great for stress relief and mental toughness

• Helps you feel capable in multiple areas of fitness

But it’s not perfect for everyone:

• Recovery can be harder if you overdo it

• It takes planning to balance both well

• Some people may struggle to gain maximum muscle or maximum speed because the training is split

• Running can feel intimidating if you’re new to fitness

Still, for me, it’s the style that keeps me consistent and motivated. And consistency always wins.
