1. It’s best that you start small and eventually increase in a gradual manner. This will help you in getting ripped especially if you are dieting. You don’t want your hard-earned muscle eaten away.
2. Cardio sessions should vary and should not be the same all the time. You have different options like running, martial arts, rowing, jogging, etc. If you are actually bored with cardio, this will help you enjoy it since you have different cardio options. It also helps your body to not get used to just one routine. Varying your cardio routines help your body adjust and speed up your metabolism.
3. With regards to fat loss, your body actually begins consuming fat after a certain period of time when you do cardio. It may either be 20 minutes or more but it really depends on the body of each individual. Best things is to keep the cardio going for a minimum of 30 minutes. It’s already considered as moderate-high intensity cardio.
4. Make variations with intensity on your cardio. You can begin with a brief walk then turn it up to moderate intensity. You can then adjust to high intensity and after a period of time, lower it back down to moderate intensity. End your session with an easy pace to help your muscles relax after as well.
5. Cardio should never be done right after a workout. You need to keep in mind that your body needs food after you workout. It’s not appropriate to cardio after a workout because your body will be needing something to intake.
Take advantage of cardio and enjoy it. With a lot of options for cardio, this is probably the least boring part of anyone’s workout. It’s also important to consider that cardio is just part of an equation to stay fit, build muscles and lose fat. Cardio is indeed a very effective tool but without proper training, workout and diet, it won’t be as effective as you desire it to be.
