What is cardio?

Any exercise that raises your heart rate for some time whilst leaving you with enough breath to talk is known as a cardiovascular workout.

The following are all examples of cardio exercise

  • Walking
  • Running
  • Swimming
  • Cycling
  • Rowing

How could it help you?

One of the most popular reasons our members love a cardio workout is that it promotes weight loss but that’s by no means the only benefit:

  • Makes the heart and lungs stronger
  • Lowers blood pressure & cholesterol
  • Increases energy
  • Reduces stress

Another great benefit of cardio exercise is you can do it in front of the TV – especially at Fitness First.
