Hey folks, I’ve been curious about how to strike the right balance between cardio and strength training, especially when you’re on your feet all day like a park ranger. I imagine the constant walking, hiking, and general activity already gives you a solid cardio base, but I’m wondering how you fit in strength training without overdoing it. Do you prioritize certain muscle groups or focus on shorter, more efficient workouts? And how do you recover when your job already keeps you so active? Would love to hear how others in similar roles manage this!

For a park ranger or anyone on their feet all day, integrating strength training can be efficient with compound movements like squats, deadlifts, and push-ups, targeting multiple muscle groups in shorter sessions. Prioritize recovery with proper hydration, stretching, and rest days to avoid overtraining while maintaining energy for daily activities.
