I've been teaching the Starting Strength Novice progression program since it's inception and following the HIIT conditioning protocol that Jordan F. recommends. I just started a job as a personal trainer at Anytime Fitness and all I hear about is cardio work zones, heart monitors and keeping your clients in their fat burning zones. This being far more important for heart health than getting them strong and better conditioned via HIIT which has always been my priority with all my clients in the past with amazing results. I've attached some sample workouts recommended by the Anytime F. Manger I work for. The (X) indicates super sets. Is this what it's all about now cardio work zones? I'd be curious to hear what the Starting Strength coaches feel about this. How can I get my clients Strong if I'm doing jumping jacks n toe taps super sets with my squats, benches, deadlifts, etc cuz all I'm suppose to be concerned with is keep them in their fat burning zones so that can improve their BF numbers and get heart healthy?
