Where does cardio training fit into all of this?

Cardio is a very subjective thing because it depends on your goal, your timescales, your genetics, your current body composition, diet and training frequency to name just a few key factors. What I always say is, especially when starting Y3T for the first time is start LOW because you can always build. The reality is with Y3T you’ll almost certainly be burning more calories now than you did before. You’ll also require more calories to recover and fuel your workouts. Most of my athletes will start their cardio at around 20-25 minutes, 3-4 times a week first. From here we assess progress and change accordingly. Don’t go crazy straight away with cardio, it just doesn’t make sense to!

Summary

I’ve been excited for some time to bring the SECOND EDITION to you, with Dr. Paul Rimmer because it shows the evolution of Y3T and the science behind it. It also makes Y3T more effective and understandable to you which is very important to me, after all it is my name up against it.

I want to really thank you for taking the time to purchase and read this eBook. As always I want to hear about your progress and thoughts on this eBook.

Please tweet me @Neil_yoda_hill and hashtag #Y3TDisciple and I might just answer you!!

I would also like to publicly thank Dr. Rimmer for his outstanding input into this project and the work he does on a daily basis for Y3T & the Neil Hill Academy (online distant learning course).
