Cardiovascular Training Information

mib1 Posts: 3 Joined: 2002/01/05	2002/01/05, 11:51 AM I'm also looking for some cardio workouts. I haven't found anything on FT with cardio. Does FT have a cardio section or am I missing it? If not can someone help me with maybe a site address or suggestions. THANKS

As far as cardio, Try running every other day for starters. If you are really agressive, try HIIT (do a search on this site for ideas on this). To be honest, You will have to do exercise with a combination of good eating to attain your goals.

I would recommend ( and I sugguest you get someone else's opinion ), doing weight lifting 3-4 times a week, and maybe going out on a 45 minute walk / run ( depending on whats more comfortable for you ) 3 days a week. Weight lifting is great because you will gain muscle that in turn will boost your metabolism and burn fat off. This accompanyed with a good diet I think would really help you out. As far as weight training, you should try some of the programs they have here, as they seem to be quite good.

Typically it's any exercise that gets your heart rate up and keeps it up for an extended length of time. It needs to be in your target heart rate zone. I believe there is a target heart rate calculator on this site. 2) This is a good site for beginners in exercise. Welcome to FT. There is a ton of information on this site.. look around and ask away! -------------- I am training for birthdays. Be here. Live. Love. Hope. Now. Faith. Believe. You. - Keith Urban
