Cardio does not inherently destroy muscle gains if recovery, sleep, and nutrition are properly managed. To optimize results, prioritize strength training first in your workouts, adjust the dose of cardio appropriately, and consume enough calories to fuel the extra activity. Ultimately, better cardiovascular conditioning supports more intense and longer weight training sessions.
