Life Transformations Personal Training in Lee’s Summit shares some fitness tips. Read about cardio training by Personal Trainer, Molly Wichman.
I find many clients say cardio is “hard,” “boring,” and “not fun.” So, we can make it exciting and fun! Cardiovascular training aka cardio is great for improving heart health, boosting metabolism and burning body fat. So let’s make this healthy training FUN!
Many people ask “What is the best type of cardio?” Answer is…cardio that you like to do. I would rather see someone enjoy 20 minutes on a Precor AMT Trainer than dread 20 minutes on the StepMill.
I like to do intervals to make the time go faster. Check out this 20 minute cardio training workout. Remember to move fast and use a stopwatch to keep accurate time.
