1. PLAN:
- Know exactly what you're doing ahead of time. Aim for two or three sessions per week and workouts that progressively get harder.
- Being able to handle more is your first basic indicator that you're progressing.
2. TIMING:
- If you always end up skipping out on your cardio, then do it when you first get to the gym, or do it on "off days."
- It's not necessarily when you do it—just don't skip it.
