Cardio means cardiovascular, which references the heart. Cardiovascular exercises are exercises that raise the heart rate & keep it high for a period of time. Also called aerobic exercise. The kinds of exercise that are associated with cardiovascular workouts are things like running, power walking, and swimming when there is no break in the routine. Exercises that emphasize stretch and strength
There is a hefty list of health benefits associated with doing cardio exercise. Here are a few top reasons to ensure cardio is in your workout routine:
It strengthens the heart
It strengthens the lungs and increases lung capacity
Boosts metabolism, it burns calories, and it helps you to lose weight
Reduces stress
It increases energy
It promotes restful sleep
But probably the most important factor is without the correct nutrition and meal plans you will NOT achieve your goals.
Like with everything Personal Trainers vary in their effectiveness. Probably the most important factor is that you are feeling comfortable with them as a person and that they are suitably qualified. Your personal trainer must assess, plan, create, motivate, vary and monitor your diet and workout plans to achieve your objective. Having a disciplined and regular routine and plan to work to is critical.
Important you realise the difference between a DIY course, watching videos and filling out workbooks, to doing that and also spending one to one time with a real live personal trainer using skype, email and mobile. This is ideal if you arent based in one place, have irregular times available to train, are away on business, a project or even on holiday. The role is the same to assess, plan, create, motivate, vary and monitor your diet and workout plans to achieve your objective. Except they wont be standing over you but discussing and planning how to adapt your training to your changing environment.
