If you’re not seeing results from your workouts, your structure might be the problem. Learn how to combine cardio and strength training the smart way—without burning out.

You show up. You work hard.
But you’re still not seeing the results you hoped for.

It’s not that you’re not trying.
It’s that your workout may not be structured to support your goals.

At Function Thru Fitness in Green Bay, WI, we coach clients on how to build workouts that combine cardio and strength—without spending hours in the gym or feeling completely exhausted after every session.

Why Structure Matters More Than You Think

Too much rest? Your heart rate drops.
Too little rest? You burn out fast.
Repeating the same exercises the same way? Your body adapts—and stops progressing.

That’s why we teach a simple method that blends movement, structure, and recovery just right.

The Smarter Way to Build Your Workout

In our video, we share how to create a cardio + strength routine that works for almost anyone.

Here’s the approach:
✔ Choose 4–5 strength-based exercises
✔ Complete them in sequence with little to no rest
✔ Repeat the full set 2–3 times
✔ Take a quick breather with light movement (like shuffles)
✔ Build a new set with fresh exercises and repeat the process

This format allows your heart rate to rise without sacrificing strength or form.
It also helps you stay focused and energized, instead of feeling drained or discouraged.

Perfect For:

  • People who feel like their workouts are going nowhere

  • Clients who want cardio benefits without long runs or sprints

  • Busy professionals looking for efficient, full-body workouts

  • Anyone who wants to feel better—not just sweat more

Train for Results—Not Just Effort

At Function Thru Fitness, we don’t believe in mindless movement.
We train with purpose, structure, and care—so your body feels stronger, not broken down.
