What Is Cardio?
One of the best ways to lose weight is cardio. Cardio training is beneficial in that it not only burns fat in a big way, but also improves blood pressure and metabolism. Therefore, a brief introduction to what is called "cardio training".
Simply put, cardio is anything that raises your heart rate from your normal rate to 60-80 percent of its maximum potential. In other words, these are sports that require high intensity. At this point, it should be noted that cardio training is divided into low-intensity and high-intensity training. However, it should be understood that "low" intensity cardio training is simply a slightly lower training load.
Cardio training
What is cardio? Compared to working with weights, this is a very difficult workout. Their essence is forcing the body to work in practically maximum mode. Cardio workouts can include jogging, cycling, aerobics, etc.
The benefits of cardio training
Cardio training is a very good way to lose excess weight. When intensively engaged in them, the body burns fat. Also, with a heavy load on the heart, the human body sweats, which allows the body to get rid of unnecessary waste and thus improve metabolism. A third, important element is that cardio helps regulate blood pressure. And the last, perhaps the most important one - during cardio training, fat turns into energy. A body with more energy makes you feel much better.
What should be the intensity of cardio training?
A cardio workout should last between 20 and 60 minutes. The most optimal option is 30-40 minutes. Such training should be done at least 3 times a week to feel the results.
Warning: It is best to start cardio with a trainer and in a place where heart rate can be calculated. Badly calculated cardio training can not only damage your health instead of improving it, but also end in tragedy.
However, if you decide to run, ride a bike or something like that, do it wisely. You have to sweat and struggle, but by no means "die" during it.
