Getting the most out of Cardiovascular
Training (you know..Cardio)
How Often Should I Do Cardio? 3
- 5 times per week (be active every day if possible!)
How Hard Should
I Push Myself? Intensity refers to the workload or level of difficulty...The American
College of Sports Medicine recommends an intensity of 60-90% of your Maximum Heart Rate.
Maximum Heart Rate = 220 - Your Age
How Long Should My Workout Last? The duration
of your cardio vascular workout depends on your level of fitness:
Remember....Pick an
exercise that will get your heart rate pumping, one where you can safely progress forward and, most of all, one that you enjoy
doing! Depending upon your current physical condition, you should generally stay with a program for at least 4 weeks before
advancing to the next level.
