steady state cardio

Consistent pace exercise

Steady state cardio is aerobic exercise performed at a consistent, moderate intensity for an extended period—typically 20 minutes or more.

Unlike interval training with its bursts and recoveries, steady state keeps heart rate in a sustained zone: She does forty minutes of steady state cardio on the treadmill.

The approach builds endurance and burns calories without the stress of high-intensity work.
