Cardio Workouts

Cardio exercise is vital in reaching and maintaining your fitness and health goals. It burns calories and helps to reduce weight as well as strengthens the heart and increases lung capacity. Your cardio needs are determined by your fitness goals, but the basic guidelines by the CDC are 2 hours and 30 minuets a week for a healthy adult.
First, determine your target heart rate. This is the rate you want to keep your heart at for the duration of your cardio workouts.
There are many types of cardio and not all have to be on a machine in the gym.
Try sports, walking, skating, dancing or anything you enjoy that keeps you moving.
