Cardio Training For Fitness


Find a cardio exercise that you enjoy, and do it when you feel you have the most energy.

There are many styles of cardio exercise to train. There is some debate about what cardio is best for you. People preach about training in the zone of a particular heart rate for maximum fat burning benefit. While it is true that your body will utilize more fat for energy during this period, this is not the entire picture. Moderate cardio exercise means your body will recover quickly - your heart rate will return to normal within a short period. Intense cardio training, which elevates your heart rate beyond the zone, may not burn as much fat during the exercise, but your body will take longer to recover. Your body must process waste and your heart rate will remain elevated for hours after the bout of aerobic exercise. You will burn more calories throughout the day, and therefore you will receive a superior fitness benefit from cardio.
