Cardiovascular Training - Burn The Fat With Cardio
Workouts!
What
is Cardio Training?
Cardio training is any exercise that elevates your heart rate to
a range between 60 to 85 percent of your maximum rate (fastest your
heart could possibly beat). When you're in this heart rate range,
you're training in an "cardiovascular" or "aerobic"
state. Cardio training has numerous health benefits. In addition
to burning calories and losing body fat, it strengthens your heart
and lungs. Since heart disease is the leading cause of premature
death for both men and women, cardiovascular fitness is a extremely
important!
How Much Cardio?
Most experts agree that cardiovascular training should last for
20 to 60 minutes, with the normal range being 30 to 40 minutes per
session. Cardio should be performed a minimum of three days per
week, with four to five days being optimal. Good examples of cardiovascular
exercises are included below:
Aerobics
