Top Ten Cardio Tips
Cardio is the cornerstone of your workout; these ten tips will help you
ensure your cardio is ultra effective.
Get a
Heart Rate Monitor
A heart rate monitor ensures you don’t over train or workout at too high
a tempo and can help you hit your goals
No Pain
Good Gains
When performing a normal cardio session you should still have the breath
to conduct a conversation, don’t overdo the intensity it won’t benefit your
development.
Do something
you enjoy
Hate running? Don’t do it. Love cycling? Do that. Pick a cardio routine
you will look forward to doing
Switch
Machines
A forty minute treadmill workout can be boring can’t it? Why not switch
between the treadmill, rower, elliptical and stepper?
Play
with the intensity
When you have completed your base phase why not
throw the odd high intensity session into your workout? Sprint for thirty
seconds and jog for two minutes and continue this for twenty minutes. A real
tough workout!
Get the
correct equipment
If you are running as part of your cardio routine, ensure you have the
correct footwear. The wrong equipment will get you injured.
Do it in
the morning
Performing your cardio routine in the morning on an empty stomach will
massively improve the session’s fat burning properties.
Stay
Hydrated
You will quickly become dehydrated if you’re not taking on water during
your cardio sessions.
Stay
Motivated
A standard cardio workout can become boring quite quickly so make sure
you have some music on the go or a great view to keep you focussed.
Wait at
least 45 minutes before eating.
Waiting for at least 45 minutes after your cardio session before eating
will massively benefit your fat burning capabilities.
