Cardio Training in Oliveira do Douro, Portugal

Cardio Training, done properly — from anywhere in Oliveira do Douro

Cardio is the most abused word in fitness — treated as either punishment for eating or a mystery to avoid. Maddy programmes it as a skill. Your plan builds an aerobic base with steady, genuinely easy sessions, then layers short interval work once the base holds, using effort-based targets so you never need lab testing. The World Health Organization's guideline of 150–300 minutes of moderate aerobic activity per week is the public-health floor the plan is built to clear — and then structure takes you past it. Low-impact options — cycling, incline walking, rowing, swimming — are programmed for anyone whose knees or schedule object to running. Cardio is paired with strength work, not substituted for it, and check-ins watch your resting heart rate and session effort to confirm the engine is actually growing. The goal: stairs, flights, and long days stop being events.

The method — how Maddy coaches this

• Aerobic base first: steady sessions at genuinely easy effort until the base holds.
• Interval work layered in later, with effort-based targets instead of guess-the-pace.
• A low-impact menu — cycling, incline walking, rowing, swimming — for joints and preferences.
• Programmed to clear the WHO's 150–300 weekly minutes of moderate activity, then build past it.
• Paired with strength training, never substituted for it; resting heart rate tracked as the scoreboard.

Who this is for:

• Anyone whose heart rate spikes on two flights of stairs and wants that fixed.
• People who dislike running and need low-impact options that still build a real aerobic base.
