Cardio for Improved Health

By Donna Stark

Let's get to the heart of the matter here, shall we? You need to improve your overall health and wellness. Your doctors are telling you this, your significant other is telling you this, and your friends are telling you this. In fact, you may even be telling yourself this too, but you just aren't sure where to start. Well, if that's the case, take heart, because you have nothing to worry about! There is one form of exercise that many experts recommend and that could be your golden ticket to a better, healthier life. It's cardio and it will do your body wonders! Take a look at a few of the top suggestions here that are great for all stages of fitness.

Walking

You've heard the expression, "It's a walk in the park," right? Well, if that's not the best way to describe walking, I don't know what is. Walking is one of the safest and easiest ways to get the cardio exercise you need. Just put on your shoes and go! You don't need any special equipment, you can control the pace and intensity, and you can pretty much do it anywhere. Walking can help you maintain a healthy weight, reduce your risk of disease, and strengthen your bones. On top of that, you can reap the benefits that Mother Nature provides too if you take your walks outdoors!

Biking

There is nothing like the warm sun on your back and the cool air in your face, especially when you are improving your fitness at the same time! Biking is a great low-impact activity that raises your heart rate, tones your muscles, and helps to burn those extra calories and fat. It is also an exercise that you can do both indoors and out, so you will never have to face bad weather and you can stay consistent with your fitness routine.

Swimming

If you are looking for a full-body workout that is low-impact and safe on your joints, swimming may very well be the answer for you! Swimming helps to tone your muscles, build your endurance, strengthen your lungs, and lose that extra weight. Best of all, it's an exercise that doesn't leave you sweaty!

Cardiovascular Exercise for the Win!

You don't have to run miles and miles each day for better health and wellness if you don't want to. With so many other easy and fun cardio exercises you can choose from, you will never have to worry about getting bored while improving your overall well-being and quality of life. So get moving and show everyone that you can do it!
