Today was chest day for me so I did a chest workout followed by a somewhat short cardio workout. If you’re a regular blog reader here, you probably know by now that I am a fan of doing cardio workouts immediately following my strength training workouts. I have found them to be very effective and I like that I get both workouts done in about an hour. I’m not a fan of long cardio workouts so I rarely ever do them. I’d rather do short bouts of intense exercise and be done with it!
