If you ever read anything on the Internet, you are probably very aware of the 'cardio' debate. There are a few people who feel that aerobic exercise bulk d calcium pantothenate a waste of time. I think that they couldn't be more wrong.

There are many buy l aspartic acid wholesale online of aerobic exercise: It strengthens your heart. Cardio can give a person a huge psychological/stress release. You can literally feel the stresses melt away. Because the endorphins levels go up there can be a feeling of power or being on top of the world.

Let's not forget one of the most obvious benefits of any kind of aerobic exercise-it's a natural fat burner. Who doesn't need this. You will continue to burn calories for at least 24 hours, after doing moderate to intense aerobic exercise.

I like to say that there are two ways of doing cadrio- productive and unproductive. Productive is getting your heart rate up above 130 bpm and really focusing on whatever your goal is. Unproductive is any type of cardio where you aren't raising your heart rate up until you are reasonably out of breath. And you are reading a magazine or chatting away with your friend.

If you are a fitness enthusiast, you are probably very aware of the different types of cardio. For those of you who aren't, I'll just go over a few. I believe that swimming is listed as the aerobic exercise which burns the most calories. Then it's running and so on.

Of course this doesn't include new, or trendy, ways of doing cardio. I know there's rowing, and there's always some new aerobic trend.

I tend to stick to the basics because they have worked for centuries. One of my favorites is sprinting. Sprinting intervals will quickly raise your heart rate and your endorphins will be up. You will feel like you can take someone down or conquer the world. I will jog at a slow pace for 2 minutes, then sprint until I can't handle it anymore. I. then repeat the process.

Swimming is great because it doesn't injure your joints, by putting pressure on them.

Recumbent bikes won't get your heart rate up past 40 bpm. If you want to bike, buy an outdoor bike or use a spinner. Beware of spinning classes, though. I have met a few people who have had major joint problems because of all the standing on the bikes. There classes are too long as well.

In my experience, doing any aerobic exercise for over 25 minutes becomes counter productive. You end up piling the calories back on later, because you are so hungry. If you combine your cardio with your strength training, 25 minutes should be plenty. How many times a week you choose to do it is dependant on your physical activity level. If you're sedentary, you may want to go with 5-6 times a week. If you are more physically active, 3 days is absolutely fine.

While cardio is not a substitute of strength training or a nutritious healthy diet, it does need to be included with these things. Strength training is a necessity because muscle burns a lot of fat and there are many 'health' reasons to have muscle. A healthy diet is a necessity because it prolongs our life and l-theanine pure bulk powder the body fat down. You simply won't get anywhere with doing cardiovascular exercise by itself!
