Shed The Ugly Pounds With Cardio Exercises.
It is a famous and proven fact that cardio exercises are
very effective ways to gain a slimmer, sexier and healthier
body. You can easily shed those pounds with the proper cardio
exercise.
But, all the exercisers have to be careful to stick to the
prescribed cardio routine, and then follow proper body posture
and position to achieve maximize results and find the right
cardio exercise for their body size. Paired with a well-balanced
diet, cardio exercise is no doubt the best way to burn off
all those unwanted fats.
Obesity has become a national crisis that everyone should
pay attention to. Many people do not realize that excess weight
also means a physiological imbalance. Cardio exercises will
not just reduce the excess fat, but also help to improve blood
circulation and lower the chances of heart attacks. Regular
cardio exercise actually extends your life by enhancing your
heart functions. The several benefits of aerobic work out
include:
1. Prevent high blood pressure
2. Lower heart’s resting rate
3. Decrease depression, stress and anxiety
4. Regular aerobics exercise can improve body’s resistance
and stamina letting you do more work with lesser strain
5. Better blood flow
6. Clear clogged arteries
There are few things that you should consider to get optimal
result from doing cardio work:
1. Frequency
Cardio should be done 3-5 times a week with no longer than
48 hours of rest in between. More than 48 hours of non-cardio
work will forfeit the benefits of previous cardio exercises.
You must remember that cardio works best when you make it
part of your life and done regularly.
2. Duration:
Beginners should allocate about 10-15 minutes of cardio exercises
during the first couple of weeks and eventually increase the
pace at a level they are comfortable with. Intermediate and
regular aerobics exercisers must maintain a 20-60 minute cardio
work, anything more than that might put your body at the danger
of over exercised.
3. Intensity
It is very important to find out the intensity of the cardio
work out and be able to stick to how much work you need to
do. Sometimes, beginners are too eager and tend to over work
themselves in aerobics and hence resulting in unwanted physical
strain. Beginners should start at 55% of their maximum heart
rate for a few weeks and only slowly proceed to more intensified
cardio exercise.
Some people might be wondering whether they should do a high
intensity or low intensity cardio workout. In fact, both types
of these cardio exercises have their own advantages. High
intensity cardio exercise can help you to burn more calories
and fat in a shorter period of time while the low intensity
cardio exercise allow you to burn the calories from the fatty
sources and not anywhere else. Low intensity cardio is perfect
for people who emphasize on burning fat instead of building
muscle mass. In a fasted state, people can burn up huge amounts
of fats in a low intensity cardio without losing excessive
muscle mass.
To achieve optimum results, do 30-40 minutes cardio exercises
everyday before inducing carbohydrates because this can help
you to burn more stored fat in the body.
Cardio exercise in the morning has also proven to garner
best results. The body’s glycogen levels are usually
lowest in the morning due to the overnight starvation, doing
early morning cardio prior to your breakfast lets your body
consume more fat due to the lack of glycogen in your system.
