I walk to the cardio room and look around, people are on their machines and moving each to their own individual pace. Some of them are on foot, some jog, some ride 's exercise bikes, elliptical more hair off, a couple are running, and still there are some who walk very slowly and read. Yes I read that, if 're reading while doing cardio every day, you do not work enough at least 2 days off the week! I watch some people stop the car they were using, wipe the bottom and then switch to practice on another piece of material. When they arrive on the next piece of material, proceed at the same rate as they did on the preceding page. They think that by changing equipment, that are changing their workout, but if you look at their heart rate, is still in the same location was the first car. It is not that the person on the wheel, do not do the same thing in the room of cardio every day. I believe that if no change in the way you look is the goal, then continue the journey to desert, does not change the landscape for miles.
There are many different types of exercise equipment in the cardio room, which one you choose? How long they use it for? Which intensity should train? The questions are endless and so are the opportunities in the cardio room. Look at the machines in the cardio room, I would recommend the first treadmill (if the joints are good), then an elliptical or rowing machine, bike beside him, and the last car I would recommend would be for rehabilitation. I know there are other machines in the cardio room, we do not have to go to all. The bottom line with the cardiovascular exercise is to change the workout and the intensity all the time. Look at professional racers, running hard, and in the medium term, and running easy. Every day is not a butt kicking contest, where you run into the ground. Sure, there are days when you push in and through the wall, but not every day.
Here I want to help people drive in the cardio room to be more efficient. Here's an example of what someone should do if they wanted cardio 4 days a week. This person may be a novice in the field exercise and have exercised for some years. Day their first week of cardio will probably want to put in about 40 minutes of elliptical. The pace of this 40 minutes should be average, which means it could have a conversation, but one could say only one sentence at a time, because then they would need to catch my breath. They would not be able to be chatty Kathy here and talk all the time. Another days of the week, this person would probably do an interval workout on the treadmill, an example would be 5 minutes of easy warm-up, 2 minutes is difficult, followed by 2 minutes of recovery. These segments in 2 minutes is repeated a few times, so that the subject would go back and do 2 minutes hard and then two minutes of recovery, and repeat again. At the end of these ranges would warm-down with 5 to 10 minutes of easy / medium pace cardio on the same machine. The hardest part in this interval training should be quite hard to make the person needs to stop for a period of 2 minutes of recovery. Their third day of cardiovascular exercise that would probably do long distance slow, plus 60 minutes in the same machine without stopping, but at an easy pace. For some people it is an easy walking pace, for others it is a race, and others to run. Just remember it should be easy. The last days of cardiovascular training is more than likely be another tough workout, hills, sprints, out-n-back, run time, etc. I hope this helps in climb to top of the hill cardio.
