Cardio

Perform 30 minutes of cardie for four days a Week either first thing in the morning on an empty stomach or right after the workout.


My favorite cardio activities in order of favoritism (first one being my favorite) are :Elliptical machine (useing the handles on the side for more of a caloric burning effect) Recumbent Bike, Power walking on the Treadmill,Gauntlet,Stair Stepper.

Work hard and try to bring your heart rate to 85% of your maximum:(220-age) x. 85= beats per minute at 85% of max.

Try to get better at the activity and burn more calories every time you do it.When you hit a plateau then you can increase the intensity of the machine.If you approach the cardio with the same enthusiasm and work ethic as you weight training , you will get the most out of it.

If you can read something as you perform you cardio then you are certainly not working hard enough.
