Just like leg workouts. Not many people enjoy doing cardio workouts as well. Majority of people don't know that cardio is one of the most important things to do while you work out. Cardio involves the whole body to work together so in other words, it is a full body workout. Here I have three different types of cardio that any individual may enjoy to add to their workout.
1. The first type of cardio I will discuss is Jogging.
I want to discuss this one first because it is considered as one of the most effective cardio workout routines for weight loss. If you do decide to jog, you should should for at least 30 minutes a day. At first you may feel some pain in your knee joints, but as time goes on, your knees will get use to it and then you will be able to increase the intensity. You don't have to do it alone either, ask your friends to jog with you and you both can motivate each other and track each others progress!
2. The second type of cardio I will like to discuss is Cycling.
This can be determined as a outdoor activity, especially if you like to ride on the streets. On the other hand, if you don't like riding on the streets, there is cycling equipment in majority of gyms. Cycling is also another key contributor to losing weight but it also strengthens your leg muscles as well. If you are beginning, then start off with a low intensity and cycle for about 20 minutes. Then once you improve your stamina, then you can increase your intensity and time. If you main purpose for cycling is to help lose weight, then you should cycle more towards 40 minutes.
3. The last type of cardio I will discuss is Swimming.
Out of the last two cardio workouts I discussed before, swimming is the best one to do. Just like jogging, this is also a full body workout. Those who have the opportunity to swim should swim about twice a week. This type of cardio is known for losing belly fat but you need to swim at least 30 to 40 minutes a day on a daily basis. This type of cardio is by far the fastest way to lose belly fat and you burn more calories in a lesser amount of time then the other two types of cardio I discussed before.
Even though cardio isn't the most exciting types of workout to do, you still need to do it. There are man other ways to do cardio as well so don't just limit yourself to just these 3. Next week we will discuss some yoga workouts that you might find interesting.
