Cardio Exercise: Fueling Heart, Health, and Energy

Cardio workouts are a dynamic way to strengthen your heart, boost energy, and improve overall well-being. By challenging your cardiovascular system—elevating your heart rate and making you breathe deeper—cardio fuels your body with oxygen and builds endurance over time.   

Inaction saps the vigor of the mind.

👟What is Cardio?

Cardio, short for cardiovascular training, is any exercise that raises your heart rate and gets you moving, like running, dancing, or cycling. It’s also aerobic, which means it increases oxygen flow and makes your heart and lungs work harder. Whether you’re aiming to burn calories, build endurance, or just feel better, cardio is your go-to for both fitness and fun.

🙇How to get started in your cardio routine?

Cardio, short for cardiovascular exercise, strengthens the heart and lungs while boosting energy, endurance, and overall health. If you’d like to craft your own routine, you can mix and match from the exercises below. Always check with your doctor before starting a new program, and begin with a warm-up before raising your heart rate.
