CARDIO EXERCISE FOR
WEIGHT LOSS

FEEL THE BURN!

“Cardio” is a term used to encompass aerobic training, which increases the function of the heart, lungs, and circulatory system.

This would include activities such as biking, jogging, power walking, swimming laps, stair climbing, jumping rope, and dancing. Cardiovascular activity is an excellent way to burn maximum calories and trim fat.

It is even possible to raise your resting metabolism if these activities are performed on a regular basis and at an intensity level that is challenging.

Of course the great benefit of a higher functioning metabolism is that it will be easier to maintain weight.

Another advantage of an intense workout is that it can affect hormonal levels by releasing endorphins, which help combat feelings of depression and fatigue. Many people experience what is often referred to as a “runner’s high!”
