The Secrets of Cardio

So you probably already know that cardio is one of the most effective weight loss techniques ever. However, did you know that over 70% of people waste the majority of their workout because of improper techniques? It is already extremely difficult to find the time necessary to work out, so you need to use every second to the fullest!

 

The major problem regarding most people’s cardio workouts is that they burn almost no calories during the first 10-15 minutes of their workout. This is due to the fact one’s muscles are still being stretched out and warmed up before true progress occurs. In addition, this is also because most people like to psychologically “warm-up” for longer than is necessary for their muscles. Instead of taking 5 minutes for solid stretching, many people simply jump right into their workouts. When not specifically stretching, it takes exponentially longer to get your muscles warmed up and ready to burn some fat.

 

You may be asking, “Ok, so what should I do?”

 

Step 1: Travel to where you are going to work out. If it is just in your basement then this does not apply to you; however, if you are going to a park then you should wait till you arrive before stretching.

Step 2: Once arrived, stretch your muscles for 5 solid minutes. This will prepare your muscles for the workout and allow you to burn the maximum amount of fat once you get going.

Step 3: Perform your cardio workout. This can include walking, jogging, running, sprints, elliptical training, stair climbing, treadmill workouts, etc.

Step 4: Once done with the intensity part of your workout, make sure to cool down. If you were doing very intense running or sprints, it is important that you walk around and stay moving for about 5 minutes after you finish. If you simply stop after your intensity training, your muscles will tighten and could painfully cramp.
