CARDIO TRAINING

CARDIO TRAINING

Cardio training is a great way to increase cardiovascular fitness, improve overall health and well-being, and burn calories. But to maximize your cardio workouts, you should consider incorporating high-intensity interval training (HIIT). HIIT is a type of cardio that involves alternating between intense short bursts of exercise and more moderate recovery periods.

One of the main benefits of HIIT is its time efficiency. You can get a great workout in a fraction of the time it would take to do steady-state cardio, making it ideal for those with busy lifestyles. It also helps to burn more calories and fat during the workout, as well as after, through something called EPOC (Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption). This means your body keeps burning calories hours after you finish your workout.

Additionally, HIIT can help to improve your overall aerobic capacity. This is because it pushes your body to work at a higher intensity than steady-state cardio, and this extra effort helps to improve your body’s ability to deliver oxygen to your muscles. This improved aerobic capacity can help with fatigue resistance, meaning you can work out longer and harder.
Finally, HIIT can help increase your metabolic rate, leading to faster weight loss.
