    Daily Cardio

    Hi Everyone!

    Today’s workout post is going to be a little bit different. I usually post a video of a workout for a muscle group but today I am going to educate you on the benefits of doing cardio and the different things you can do for it.

    So first I am going to focus on the benefits of doing cardio. It really helps to burn calories and fat for weight loss. It can boost your endorphins, which will make you feel happier throughout your day. It makes your heart stronger so it doesn’t have to work as hard day to day. It can help you sleep better at night. It can help to increase your lung capacity. I have noticed this in my personal experience. As I started to incorporate some cardio into my daily routine, I noticed that I didn’t have to use my inhaler as much. (I have exercise induced asthma).

    Now I am going to share some of my favorite types of cardio. They are: running inside or outside, walking inside or outside, using the Stairmaster, running or walking on the elliptical, snowboarding, swimming, and dancing. I really aim to do at least 10-15 minutes of cardio each day. Cardio can really be anything that gets your heart rate up. Get creative!

    I really like to do fun workouts like this because it helps me to keep my mind off of what I am actually doing. It feels like I am having fun rather than spending another hour at the gym. It helps me to keep thinking about what I am going to do next rather than what I am currently doing. Try it out and let me know what you think about it in the comments below.
