Your cholesterol numbers aren't set in stone.
A lot of people get their bloodwork back, see a high LDL or low HDL, and assume that's just how it's going to be. The research says otherwise.
A 2024 review in Sports Medicine pooled 148 clinical trials with more than 8,600 people and found that regular exercise lowered LDL and triglycerides while raising HDL, the "good" cholesterol that helps carry extra cholesterol away from your arteries.
The best results came from combining strength training and cardio. Strength work on its own raised HDL. Adding cardio improved the whole panel: lower LDL, lower triglycerides, and higher HDL.
That doesn't mean you need to spend hours in the gym. It means you need a plan that fits your body, your schedule, and your starting point, and coaching that works alongside your doctor's advice, not in place of it.
At HyperFit, every session is one-on-one and built around you, at a pace that fits your life.
