4 day hybrid split whilst working in healthcare…how best to structure it?
Hey everyone!
I work a busy healthcare job and am currently struggling with burnout - I don’t think 5/6 workouts a week is feasible for me and I feel so fatigued after my morning workouts.
I really enjoy the hybrid style of training. I aim to workout at home before work as I have access to barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, bench and stationary bike etc. I also try to keep my workouts to a maximum of 45 minutes.
I’m currently looking to move into a 4 day hybrid split but am stuck on how best to structure it so that it is effective for both strength and cardiovascular endurance. I was thinking:
1 - Fully body strength + threshold interval conditioning
2 - Upper body strength
3 - Lower body strength
4 - Zone 2 steady state conditioning
Does this sound like a good plan? Also, is two strength sessions better and then I could move the threshold interval conditioning onto a separate day? Also, if I was to add threshold interval conditioning onto the back of a strength session, how long should this session be? I just don’t want my sessions running over 60 mins. Thank you for any advice!
