Aerobic (endurance) and anaerobic (strength/power) exercise train different systems. Combining both - through separate sessions, structured weekly plans, or HIIT - yields a more balanced fitness profile.

Boot camp workouts combine cardio and strength in scalable circuits you can do anywhere. Start with a warm up, use modifications, and prioritize recovery.
