Cardio is derived from the Cardiovascular. Cardiovascular System is the way of working in which the heart pumps blood, continue to let the blood flow throughout the body. So, cardio exercise is exercise that increases heart rate and involves the whole body to move, the exercise that involves all the muscles of the body to move.
So, what is the examples of cardio exercise?? in fact we are already very familiar with cardio activity. There are many examples of cardio exercise, but the most popular are jogging, running, walking, cycling, swimming, and aerobic exercise.
What are the benefits we can get from cardio exercise?.
- Train our heart to make it more powerful. this will keep us from heart attack suddenly. Since the heart rate increases, the metabolic process becomes more smoothly.
- Strengthens the lungs. With cardio training, we will also organize breathing practice, practice to regulate the amount of oxygen in and out.
- Blood circulation. Therefore, cardio training, very good for relieving stress, because the blood circulation and stimulates the hormones that cause feelings of pleasure. Cardio can also accelerate recovery of cells, for wasting lactic acid (the acid that causes muscle fatigue). If you suffer from sleep disorders, cardio exercise also has the effect of improving the quality of your sleep.
- Cardio is a sport that prioritize fat as energy. It is therefore an excellent cardio exercise done in the morning, after you wake up, and before you breakfast. If you want to lose weight, reduce your intake of carbohydrates before going to sleep at night, and then do practice of cardio in the morning.
And there are many more benefits of cardio training for health. We must do cardio exercise regularly to get the best results, at least 3 x 20 minutes in one week. Increase the intensity of your cardio from time to time, if you already familiar with your current intensity exercise. Do not impose heavy exercise if you first do the cardio, so that the heart was not surprised.

ReplyDeleteCardio is a Waste of Time for Fat Loss
While the mainstream fitness media still insists that aerobic
exercise is a great way to lose weight, Turbulence Training users
know that interval training is the better way to burn body fat.
Still not convinced?
A recent study published by the North American Association for the
Study of Obesity, subjects aged 40 to 75 were instructed to do 60
minutes of aerobic exercise per day for 6 days per week for an
entire year.
Given the amount of exercise, you'd expect weight losses of 20, 30
pounds, or more, right?
Well, the surprise findings showed the average fat loss for female
subjects was only 4 pounds for the entire year, while men lost 6.6
pounds of fat over the year. That's over 300 hours of aerobic
exercise just to lose a measly 6 pounds of blubber. Not time well
spent, in my opinion.
So what's the better way? Stick with Turbulence Training, using
interval training and strength training to get better bodysculpting
results. With intervals, you'll achieve more fat burning results in
less workout time.
The next time you are out exercising, perform a session of interval
training. If you are walking or running outside, find an incline
that can challenge you for 60 seconds, then walk down for 60-120
seconds, and repeat up to 6 times.
If you walk or run on a treadmill, adjust the incline or speed to
safely increase the challenge for 60 seconds, then return to the
normal pace for 60-120 seconds, and repeat up to 6 times.
You can also use a rowing machine, bicycle or stationary bike, or
even an elliptical machine to do intervals.
But whatever you do, stay away from boring, ineffective cardio
exercise workouts and stick with Turbulence Training for your fat
burning program.

"Turbulence Training makes so much sense and I really enjoy the
different workouts so never get bored. From an aussie that was
looking for something other than just another weight workout
with the same old moves this has been a real eye opener for me and
I have been telling my friends just how great the TT method is."
