The Benefits of Cardio for Your Workout Routine
We all
see the people in the gym that never seem to even wander over towards the
cardio machines, let alone actually hop on one and start training. They would
rather focus on strength training day after day. And while there is nothing
wrong with wanting to gain muscle, everyone needs a bit of cardio in their
workout routine.
Increased Lung Capacity
Do you
sometimes find yourself out of breath just climbing a short flight of stairs?
This does not have to do with old age. You just aren’t getting enough cardio
exercise into your life. Cardio can increase your lung capacity over time so
you will be able to do much more not just in the gym, but in your daily life,
too. If you seem never to be able to catch your breath, start off slow with
cardio and in no time you will be breathing much easier.
Makes Your Heart Stronger
A
strong heart will help you lead and long and healthy life. One way to make it
stronger is to get a bit of cardio done every day. This will enable your heart
to not have to work quite so hard to pump blood through your body. For athletes
and people that exercise regularly, a heart rate of under 60 beats per minute
is normal and even healthy. If you find your resting heart rate to be more than
this, now you have something to shoot for.
Better Than Having to Take Medication
Cardio has shown the ability to reduce high cholesterol, lower high blood pressure, combat diabetes, and limit your chances at some forms of cancer. Instead of relying on prescription meds for the rest of your life, you can simply get some cardio in a few times a week and this could take care of the problem.
