What is the primary goal of cardio and strength classes combined?

The primary goal of combining cardio and strength classes is to elevate heart rate and simultaneously increase muscular strength or endurance. This approach allows participants to benefit from both aerobic and anaerobic exercises within the same session. Cardiovascular training focuses on improving the efficiency of the heart and lungs, while strength training targets muscle development, enhancing both strength and endurance.

By integrating these two elements, participants can experience a more comprehensive workout that maximizes calorie burn, improves overall fitness levels, and promotes better muscle conditioning. This combination ensures that participants engage in whole-body workouts that address multiple facets of physical fitness, providing balanced improvements in both cardiovascular health and muscle function.
