Should you prioritize cardio or strength training workouts?

The WH workout database features hundreds of workouts that are either strength-focused, cardio-focused, or a blend of both. The type you choose ultimately depends on your personal goals.

For example, if you are looking to build muscle and improve overall strength, trainers generally recommend prioritizing resistance training (and doing it before you get your cardio in so you have the energy to lift heavy). On the other hand, if you're working on endurance or training for, say, a 5K, lean into cardio workouts first and foremost—then supplement them with strength training. (This complete guide to cardio versus resistance training goes even deeper.)

How should you warm up and cool down?

Most of the workouts provided include a brief warm-up and post-workout stretch. You're always encouraged to tack on additional warm-up and cooldown time to ensure you're priming your joints and muscles properly beforehand and stretching out and relaxing your body after.

Here's a list of bonus warm-ups and cooldowns to choose from:

Ultimately, the WH Workout Finder Tool is designed to make planning your workouts easier than ever and help you stick to—and crush–your goals. Keep coming back to the tool to discover all new sweat sessions, trainers, and modalities so you never get bored. This is fitness, *your* way.
