Hi guys guess who's back with some fitness tips. Great work there Kev and Boris, good pointers about the big 3 and great motivational post about having goals. So what I have in stock today are some advice regarding cardio. So how would you define cardio exercise? Cardio exercise is a form of physical exercise of low to high intensity that depends primarily on the aerobic energy-generating process.[1] Some common cardio workout is jogging on a park or running on a treadmill. While these exercise does serve the purpose of cardio workout, in my opinion it is one dimensional. Don't you think so? So how about trying a sport instead or Zumba or maybe even a form of mixed martial arts :D Let's not get carried away there, for beginners let's just stick to sport or Zumba. :)
Now Zumba is a form of cardio exercise that's growing in popularity. I think it's great and works as a cardio workout and you can even learn a form of dance through it. For those who are not keen on dancing, getting involved in a sport is a great choice. For example indoor soccer, basket ball, tennis or maybe badminton but none of that golf stuff. I don't see how that's a workout. :P Anyways back to point, considering sport for a workout. So the benefit of such a workout is that you are covering the part of cardio exercise that you would normally cover while jogging, on top of that you are working on your stamina, agility and sense of team work as well. Overall the experience can motivate you further. You don't necessarily have to be good at the sport but that's the beauty of it, you can get better through commitment and in due time besides maintaining fitness, the sport is a new skill attained. That's like hitting two targets with one arrow. Achieving such a goal in context, you will be FIT and you will HAPPY ;)
That's all for now, keep an eye out for our next post. In the mean time
work hard,
play hard.
Be fit, be happy.
