The Facts About Cardio
Cardio Basics
With such a high percentage of people with overweight and obesity in the world, it becomes obvious that many of us are not following the recent Guidelines ACSM’s exercise, which prescribes one hour of exercise a day.
In fact, there is no doubt a widespread growth of regular physical activity. But how important are these guidelines and how we can adapt them to our lives?
The Facts About Cardio Training
Before we talk about the volume of training (the training we do), it is also important to know why it is so important to make this type of training. Cardiovascular exercise is one of the types of activity that increases our heart rate to the level where we work but where we can still talk (ie, in your ideal training heart rate). So this type of work is important for the following reasons:
• It is one way to burn calories and help you
• Increase cardiovascular efficiency, that is, our heart has to work so hard to pump blood that we need
• Increase the capacity of our lungs
• Reduces the risk of heart attack, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and diabetes
• Helps you sleep better
• Helps you better manage stress
In summary: You need this type of exercise if you want to have your weight under control and have your stress at acceptable levels.
