CARDIO EXERCISES.

There are two types of activities in fitness – aerobic and anaerobic. Let us talk about the aerobic activity.

The aerobic activity includes cardiovascular endurance and muscular endurance.

To improve this type of endurance you will have to improve your cardio activities.

No fitness routine is complete without cardio exercises. It may sometimes be monotonous or too exerting that you would want to skip it completely.  But let us not undermine the benefits of a cardio exercise.

Why are cardio exercises good for us?

Running, swimming, cycling, dancing, elliptical training and even brisk walking are examples of cardio exercises.

Our heart does not function at its optimum level when we are doing our daily chores. Done in a proper form and technique, we can achieve levels of performance, which we could not have imagined earlier.

Technology is improving at a lightening speed but human body is still the same. To improve the efficiency of our body we have to challenge ourselves.

The production of Endorphins or the brain’s feel good neurotransmitters is promoted by the cardio exercises. (Guaranteeing you to be in a good mood the whole day ) 

Cardio exercises helps in managing diabetes by increasing the muscle's ability to utilize glucose. Those who exercise regularly are able to control their blood sugar levels better than those who do not exercise.
