Cardiovascular exercise elevates the heart rate and burns sugar and glycogen stored in the muscles and blood flow. When the sugar and stored glycogen is depleted, the body draws on its reserves - your fat cells for energy. If you want a slimmer waist and flat abs or a six pack, you must engage in some form of cardiovascular activity regularly. To begin with,
1. Choose an activity you enjoy or many activities, mix 2 to avoid boredom.
Begin slowly and work your way to a goal (e.g. 20 minutes) 3. Increase the intensity as your strength improves. We always try to work a little harder than the level you feel comfortable at. This simple tip will keep improving indefinitely.
The exercise you choose can be any activity that can easily fit into your life and schedule. You do not need a gym for cardio. Some ideas for an effective regime of cardio are running or jogging outdoors or on the treadmill, jumping rope, hiking, swimming, stair climbing, rowing, horse power; tennis, basketball, dancing. Anything that breaks a sweat is a good start.
Here are some more ideas:
Exterior: - Walking with hill sprints - Interval training on the track of the local high school - Join a recreational sports league such as football, beach volleyball or softball mixed - Train for a 5K or triathlon - Go On mountain bike - Roller or ice skate blade - power walk with your dog or - Get a stroller for your baby and have a race together
