At Gym Fest, there’s something for everyone, but one of the best ways to stay fit is through cardio training. Whether you love running, cycling, or jumping around in a fun class, cardio training keeps your heart strong and healthy. But how does it work? Let’s dive in!
Cardio training, short for cardiovascular exercise, is any activity that makes your heart beat faster. For example, running on a treadmill, cycling on a stationary bike, or even dancing in a high-energy class. These activities help your heart pump more blood and oxygen around your body, which keeps it working well.
Your heart is a muscle, and just like any other muscle, it gets stronger when you use it. So, when you do cardio training, your heart becomes better at pumping blood. This means:
Most importantly, regular cardio helps prevent heart disease, which is one of the biggest health problems people face today.
The great news is that you don’t have to spend hours on a treadmill to get the benefits. In fact, experts recommend at least 150 minutes of moderate cardio each week. That’s just 30 minutes a day, five times a week. Even better, you can break it into smaller chunks. For example, a 10-minute brisk walk in the morning, a 10-minute bike ride in the afternoon, and a quick dance session in the evening all count!
