The best case is if you combine high-intensity cardio workouts with weight lifting, DeAngelo says. “That’s better than going out for a long walk or jogging endless miles,” he adds.

The best case is what? Is there anything missing?
 
You'll get the best results if you do that.
 
Is it correct to say "The best case is that you combine ..."? Is it wrong to say "The best case is if you combine ..."?

I don't find either of them natural. We usually use "the best case" in the phrase "the best case scenario" and that's not appropriate in this piece. I'd expect something like "The best method" or "The best solution".
 
What he says is wrong. He's talking about what to do for the best results.
