Can you be more specific about what the resistance training and cardio sessions should consist of in Andrew Huberman's exercise protocol as discussed in the episode Dr. Sara Gottfried: How to Optimize Female Hormone Health for Vitality & Longevity | Huberman Lab and the clip Exercise and Hormones?
I've heard Andrew Huberman say that keeping workouts between 45 minutes to 1 hour is optimal for testosterone and cortisol, so not to do resistance training longer than that. If I do cardio after my resistance training session, does that count for this purpose, or is it counterproductive? Is that time limit just for the resistance training portion of the session?
