Cardio Exercise

Why is cardio exercise good for you

Aerobic exercise, also known as “cardio” exercise, uses repetitive contraction of large muscle groups to get your heart beating faster and is the most beneficial type of exercise for your cardiovascular system (your heart and blood vessels). Regular cardio workouts can:

Strengthen your heart and blood vessels
Improve the flow of oxygen throughout your body
Lower your blood pressure and cholesterol
Reduce your risk for heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, and some kinds of cancer
