❤ CARDIO ❤
Cardio exercise is any exercise that raises your heart rate. Face it our
bodies were made to move. And we all know that to keep our muscles in
shape we need move them. This movement makes them stronger and stronger
muscles make for a more efficient and healthy body. Your heart is a
muscle. Cardio exercise uses large muscle movement over a sustained period of time keeping your heart rate to at least 50% of its maximum level.
The Sports Medicine recommends 30 minutes of moderate intensity physical
activity most days of the week. Cardio exercises will burn fat. Weight
loss comes from burning more calories than you take in. Even when you
see no specific weight loss you are getting great benefits from a cardio
workout.
BENEFITS:
1. Improved Heart Health!
Your heart is a muscle just like any other and in order for it to become
strong it must be worked. If you fail to work it, it will weaken over
time and this can cause a variety of negative health effects.
2. Increased Metabolism!
Intense interval sprints (also known as HIIT) increase the metabolism; the highest with a process called EPOC (Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption).
3. Improved Hormonal Profile!
It releases 'feel good' hormones that will help ease symptoms of depression and fatigue as well as releasing hormones that decrease the appetite.
4. Improved Recovery Ability!
Certain types of cardio exercise, usually lower, more moderately paced forms, can decrease your recovery time too. This will help to reduce your DOMS (delayed onset of muscle soreness)
and help bring more oxygen rich blood to the muscle tissue improving in
the repair and rebuilding process.
5. Management of Diabetes!
By performing the exercise you will increase your muscle's ability to utilize glucose. Those who exercise regularly tend to have better control of their blood
sugars and do not see as many blood sugar swings as those who don't.
6. Makes you feel happy and confident!
30 min of your day! Just do it!
