39: Cardio Myths vs Reality: How to Train Your Heart Without Burning Yourself Out

Cardio doesn’t have to mean exhaustion. In this episode, Coach Eve breaks down common cardio myths and explains what actually builds endurance, improves heart health, and supports fat loss — without burning out your body. Learn the difference between Zone 2 training and high-intensity intervals, how to structure cardio for the fire academy, and why stressed, busy people often need less intensity, not more. Perfect for aspiring firefighters, first responders, and anyone looking for smarter, sustainable fitness. Topics include: firefighter conditioning, Zone 2 cardio, HIIT vs steady state, fat loss, recovery, stress, and cardiovascular training. Let's Connect!
