The best way to go about doing cardio is to make it as exciting as possible. You want to do different periods of cardio workouts.
What do I mean? Doing just one thing can become boring, and its often the least effective.
However when you combine certain cardio workouts you not only have more fun doing your workout, but you also lose weight a lot faster, and more effectively.
Also if you are overweight, you will benefit a lot more from any type of exercise.
However before you begin, make sure you are prepared.
Why? Well there are a lot of times when people that are not in great a great physical state, and they often go for biggest workout they can think of. There is nothing wrong with being confident about yourself, but when it injures you its just ignorant.
You want to make sure you are somewhat in shape before doing a high intensity workout.
Fore example… A person who rarely runs will not be able to throw him or herself into a marathon, without hitting the invisible brick wall.
You have to learn to build up your endurance so you can run faster and farther each day. Start off by running at a certain pace for 5/mins a day for a week.
Then move yourself up to 10/mins a day for a week, and so on. Keep this up and you will eventually have enough endurance to take on anyone in a race.
Stretching
Stretching is very important before you start a cardio workout. Do enough until you feel the strains in your muscles getting more flexible.
Stretching can improve your overall performance; it will also make you feel less sore after your workout.
Nutrition
I often tell people to eat smaller meals/day rather than 3 large course meals. The reason why is because when you eat the smaller meals more frequently your metabolism stays at its peak. This will help us burn fatter.
Obviously stay away from fast foods, ice cream, potato chips, and all the other junk food. Everyone knows what he or she should or should not be eating. Its common sense. If you were trying to get fit, why would you eat junk food?
The only types of people that can get away with this are people that are usually on sports teams.
Good Luck Losing Weight! And Happy Summer!
