Fitness Programs / Using a Cardio Fitness Program

Fitness Programs 

You can try all the diets you want but to actually lose weight effectively AND keep it off, then you have to exercise. Exercising regularly not only helps you burn more calories and lose more weight but it also keeps the body, muscles and organs working effectively and healthily too.
  • Using a Cardio Fitness Program
A cardio fitness program will help you to incorporate cardio exercises into your daily schedule. You don't have to exercise every single day to keep in shape but you should certainly exercise 3 times a week. This needs to be some form of cardio exercise that will target the whole body and will last for approx 30 minutes.

Most people achieve this by running or jogging. If you are just starting out then you will probably start by walking until you feel fit enough to move it into a jog, then into a run. Either first thing in the morning or in the evening are the perfect times to do this cardio workout.

You can of course go to the gym and use a treadmill, or maybe you can buy a home treadmill so you don't have to worry about the weather. Treadmills can give a more intense workout as you can adjust the incline on many of them to make it harder for you to run. Your body will be using more energy, which means you'll be burning more calories.

If you don't like running, then maybe you can use cycling or swimming as your cardio workout. These are both ideal and you should aim to do them for the same amount of time - approx 30 minutes a day, 3 days a week.

A cardio fitness program is vital not only because it helps you to lose weight but also because it keeps your heart in a healthy condition.
