Cardio workout can be started with the high intensity workout for first 10 minutes followed by the low intensity workout for the next 20 to 30 minutes. This can help a great deal in fat loss. Cardio workouts are traditionally full body workouts that can be done without any special equipment. Traditional examples of cardio workouts include running, swimming, and biking.
Cardio workouts can be just about any exercise, such as jogging, running, swimming, biking, elliptical machines, even jumping rope. Your goal is to raise and maintain your heart rate for a set amount of time.
Stretching is a vital part of any cardio workout, so make sure you take the time to include it in your regimen. Whether you follow yoga, Pilates or a combination of both, stretching can help reduce your risk of injury by keeping your joints and muscles flexible. Stretching during your rest is crucial as it brings oxygen to the muscle and helps with recovery and injury prevention. Water will help fight against heat exhaustion but you may want to wear head protection if it is very sunny, as well as some sun block.
