Cardio training gets such a bad rap, because there’s so much negativity and pushback from the majority of people who implements it into their daily workout schedules.
One of the biggest complaints that I hear is that cardio is boring and can be challenging.
Regardless of whether you love or hate cardio, it’s very beneficial to your overall health and fitness.
While you don’t have to go overboard and train like a marathon runner, you should perform cardio exercises at least a couple of times per week in order to improve your cardiovascular system.
In this article, you’re going to learn 3 Tips On How To Enhance Your Cardio Results.
Let’s do this…
TIP 1: Choose Cardio Exercises That You Enjoy
One of the biggest keys to making cardio exercises more enjoyable is to choose the ones that you actually like.
I know, what a concept, right?
It’s no secret that we tend to stick to things we enjoy doing.
If you plan on making cardio a part of your weekly exercise program, I highly recommend that you try several types of cardio exercises to see which ones you enjoy.
For example, if you have access to cardio equipment such as a treadmill, elliptical, and so on, you perform a full cardio session on each (separate days of course).
You can also test out various forms of walking from slow-paced to powerwalking.
After you’ve tried out all the various types of cardio that you’re interested in, you then simply pick and choose those that you enjoy, and incorporate them into your weekly exercise program.
It’s as simple as that!
TIP 2: Slowly Increase Your Intensity Overtime
When it comes to conditioning your body, you always want to increase your intensity a little at a time. When you increment at a slower pace, this allows your body to adapt by becoming stronger, which also reduces your chances of injuring yourself.
Don’t be in such a rush, because as long as you’re consistent in your cardio training, you’ll reach your goals.
On the other hand, if you increase your intensity too fast, you run the risk of not only injuring yourself but can also destroy your immune system due to over-taxing your body.
Overtraining can lead to a weak immune system, which can make you susceptible to diseases and physical injuries that can occur during both your resistance and cardio training.
So, be on the safe side and increase your cardio intensity at a slow pace.
TIP 3: Use A Wearable Fitness Tracker
Fitness trackers are great because they calculate and provide you with critical health metrics, which allow you to adjust your diet, resistance, and cardio training accordingly to reach your goals.
There are several studies and ongoing debates about the accuracy of fitness trackers. In my opinion, I wouldn’t get too wrapped up in just how accurate they are and focus on the baseline metrics that they provide so that you can see the changes.
I recommend reading the reviews on the tracker that you plan to purchase and getting one that has at least a 4-star rating.
Some fitness trackers allow you to join friendly fitness competitions with people around the world. Competitions such as seeing who walked the most steps in a day. I’m telling you that this friendly competition can be a lot of fun.
