5 Excellent Benefits of Cardio Training

To keep yourself fit and in shape, there are two main types of training. They are resistance training which involves weights, lifting, weight machines, etc. The second type of training is cardio training like walking, jogging,running, aerobics, cycling, and any exercise that doesn't involve weights of any kind. This article will give you some benefits of cardio training.
1. I think one of the best benefits is the fact that you can do cardio training virtually anywhere. You aren't tied to a gym or home gym with your weights, etc. You can take a nice brisk walk or jog anywhere. You can actually do cardio training anywhere at any time. It involves using the larger muscle group of your body which are your legs. Cardio will raise your heart rate significantly which carries more oxygen to your body through your blood.
2. By increasing your heart rate and the oxygenated blood flow, you give yourself more energy. Strength training will break down your muscles and tire you out. Cardio training will not tear down muscles but stretch them out and help them to get definition. You burn away fat but leave muscle where the fat used to be.
3. The increased blood flow will also help to prevent sickness and disease. The increased oxygen can help ward off the flu as well as a cold. It can help prevent diseases like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, being overweight(which leads to many health problems), and the #1 in my book, it helps prevent high cholesterol. Just a brisk walk routine or a jogging routine is enough to help ward off these illnesses and diseases. <!-- adsense -->
4. With the increased activity, elevated heart rate, and increased oxygenated blood flow, cardio training will also help control your weight and drop the fat. You will burn calories with cardio workouts like a barn on fire. because it involves the large muscle groups you will burn fat much faster and be able to keep it away. By burning the fat and calories, you naturally lose weight and can keep it off forever.
5. Last but not least, cardio is just a fun way to work out. You can be outside and enjoying the weather, it is easier to find workout partners or groups. A lot of people are not bodybuilders, but they do enjoy a walk, jog, bike ride, swimming, etc. Therefore it is easier to work out with friends and have fun rather than looking forward to hard lifting in the gym with a bunch of strangers.
It is always good to, first, decide what you want to accomplish. Cardio will not build muscle but will make them more defined. It will help you lose weight and keep it off. Decide how much you want to lose. You might want to consult your doctor before starting a cardio training regimen. It is best to do this for a half an hour to an hour or more a day. 3 days minimum per week but 5 is better to lose the weight faster. The more you do the faster you get your desired results. Also, it is a good idea to have something to eat before working out. Do not stuff yourself but a light snack or meal will keep you from possibly feeling faint. Good luck with your cardio training workouts, and stick to it. If you do lift and want to add cardio, do so after the lifting session and not before.
Until Next Time...

I love to work out and I love cardio training. I do lift a bit also but not to keep gaining muscle but just to stay defined.
