Week 1 Day 2 1h 20m Chest, Shoulders & Triceps
This is one of my favourite splits as it delivers the best results!

Walking, incline (3.0 mph / 4.8 km/h, 10% grade)

7.4 MET 35 min Moderate Morning Fasted

Set the treadmill to a 10% incline and keep your heart rate between 130 and 140 bpm. Walk at a fast pace; do not run, as the intensity should stay within this range. You can also choose any other type of cardio, such as the elliptical, stationary bike, or stair climber, as long as your heart rate remains between 130 and 140 bpm. Ideally, perform this cardio first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. If that's not possible, do it immediately after your weightlifting workout, never before.
