Episode 4 - Hybrid Training That Works: Why We Blend Lift Fit and Hit Fit
Title: Hybrid Training That Works – Why We Blend Lift Fit and Hit Fit
Hosts: Loz and Jonathan
Duration: ~10 minutes
Episode: 4
In this episode, we take a deep dive into our favorite way to train - the hybrid approach. At Fit for Life, we combine LIFT FIT (strength-based training) and HIIT FIT (cardio-based training) to help our members build strong, healthy, and functional bodies.
We break down the differences between both styles of training and explain why we strongly recommend incorporating both into your weekly routine. From building lean muscle to improving heart health, we cover how LIFT FIT and HIIT FIT complement each other to deliver long-term results. Whether you're looking to lose weight, gain strength, or just feel better in your everyday life, this balanced method is the most effective way to get there.
We also touch on some of the dodgy information floating around social media and why our approach is rooted in science and real-world success.
🏋️ What We Cover:
- What is Lift Fit?
- Strength-focused training using weights
- Builds lean muscle, stability, and a stronger body
- What is Hit Fit?
- Cardio-focused training
- Improves heart health, lung capacity, and endurance
- Why Use Both?
- Each targets different metabolic pathways
- Lifting builds strength and burns more at rest
- Cardio boosts fat burn during workouts and improves overall conditioning
- You’ll be prepared for anything — even a zombie apocalypse
- Debunking Social Media Myths:
- No, cardio doesn’t “ruin your gains”
- HIT sessions help your body manage stress more efficiently
- A well-rounded routine is key to a strong and healthy life
- Who This Is For:
- Anyone looking to get fit for life, not just one aspect of it
- Especially effective for weight loss, muscle tone, and long-term results
- Client Question Spotlight:
- Should weight loss clients do both?
Absolutely. Strength builds muscle for better metabolism.
Cardio burns more calories in the session.
Together, they make results faster and more sustainable.
