I wanted to hear some of your thoughts on what is better for heart health. Many studies have shown that high intensity interval training is very beneficial for heart health when dosed properly 2-3 times per week (aka not doing amrap workouts 5 days a week). However at SF, many people really prefer A+A over HIIT. When it comes to heart health, is there research that shows that A+A also produces positive hearth adaptation as well?
My primary focus is strength training, but I also like adding conditioning with kettlebells. So what are the best options if my goals are sustainability and creating positive heart adaptations in addition to my current strength training? I know that MAF cyclic endurance activities would be a good choice but honestly, I can't dedicate that kind of time with my school/work schedule. That is why my preference is kettlebell conditioning. I am open to other suggestions if they are reasonably time efficient though. Thanks in advance for the responses!
One quick bit of background: I am a 22 yr old male and am in good health.
