What can cardio training do for you?


Cardio training is anything that raises your heart rate and includes such activities as walking, running, biking, skating, skiing and kickboxing.   It can be done indoors on a machine or outside. The benefits of cardio training are numerous and some are listed below:

 

Weight loss One of the most widely known benefits of cardio training is that it helps the body shed unwanted pounds.   Cardio training helps people lose weight by increasing the heart rate so more blood is pumping and by burning calories.  

 

Reduced stress    Cardio training not only makes the body healthier physically, it also promotes mental health.   Cardio exercise has been shown to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression.   Cardio training releases hormones in the body that trigger “feel good” emotions.   Additionally, cardio training can improve self-esteem, which in turn improves mental health in most people.

 

Asleep and awake    Cardio training also has the added benefit of improving a person’s sleep and giving them more energy when they are awake.   By improving the body’s overall health, cardio training allows the person to fall asleep faster and have a more restful sleep. By increasing the body’s endurance and strengthening the heart and lungs, cardio training gives a person more energy while they are awake.
