Low Intensity Cardio vs. High Intensity Cardio

There is an important disctinction between high intensity cardio vs low-intensity cardio. The former serves to increase cardiovascular efficiency by increasing the size of the heart while the later stretches it. This is important because by stretching the heart instead of just increasing the size, you allow more oxygenated blood to get to your muscles. If you feel out of shape doing your workouts and like you can’t recover in-between sets, you should consider doing low-intensity cardio. Low-intensity cardio will improve the oxygen delivery into your muscles in-between sets and will make your workouts much more manageable. I recommend 60 minutes 1-2 times a week to begin with of either jogging, active warm-ups, or some activity where you can keep your heart rate consistently elevated (but not too high).

  1. Cardio workouts help me attain a healthy weight. I was having a big tummy last year and cardio really helped flattened my belly.

  2. Everyday i would do at least an hour of Cardio workout and this routine alone helped me regain my lean body. Cardio is really good for burning down the extra fats you get on your tummy.
