Hello! Welcome back, my friends. Im glad to have you with me. Last week, we took time to discuss nutrition and how IMPORTANT it is to any health program. Training and nutrition MUST go hand-in-hand. One without the other will not help you realize your FULL potential. Your car will not get very far without the RIGHT gas. In this week's blog, were going to get into the next FUNDAMENTAL element to creating a stronger, healthier YOU. Cardiovascular training.
First, lets begin by clearly defining exactly what cardiovascular training is. Cardiovascular training is any type of MILD aerobic activity lasting a MINIMUM of 30 minutes. Cardio sessions should be performed frequently. 3-4 days a week. You must understand that you are a MACHINE. Your muscles require OXYGEN to function properly. Through consistent cardiovascular training, your body becomes more efficient at processing oxygen. The better your machine becomes at performing this task, the longer you last. The further you go. We call that ENDURANCE. STAMINA.
Cardiovascular training has countless benefits. It strengthens the heart. Tones muscles. Improves balance and posture. Increases blood oxygen levels. Reduces stress. It clears cholesterol build-up. Burns FAT. To make sure you are getting the MOST out of your cardio sessions, you must know your MAXIMUM HEART RATE. Take the number, 220. Subtract your AGE. The number you get is your MHR. This number is very important for you to know. You must find yourself working at 60-80 percent of your MHR. This will ensure that you are making improvements in your cardio training. You will burn more fat and gain more endurance.
Some examples of cardiovascular activities. Jogging. Biking. Rowing. Power walking. Jump roping. Stair climbing. Boxing. Dance. All of these are aerobic in nature. Your gym should hold a majority of this machinery. I want you to get motivated. Find what works best for YOU. |

INTENSITY fuels my fire. On a massive attempt to find BALANCE. An earthy-Artistic individual, full of raw emotions, often mis-judged and not bothered by what others say. I'm on a visionary adventure nearing what I've dreamt most.
As a lover of ALL forms of ART, I enjoy two very fine and immanent joys in life: FOOD & MUSIC. Because without these two things, my world would be vapid.
I have a very endearing family, life-long friends, and a love for life too big to handle at times. I'm simple because I want to be, but complicated because GOD made for it to be that way.
