Cardio for Weight Loss 101
Cardio is never the best part of
working out but highly necessary for weight loss. Today I will be outlining
some cardio workouts you can incorporate into your routine.
Slow and Steady Cardio
Under this method you can pick
your cardio machine such as the treadmill, eliptical, stair climber, etc and
go for anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour. Don't over exert yourself pick a
slow pace to make sure you can last for the whole session.
Interval Cardio
My favorite to do on the
treadmill, pick your jog speed, say 6.5 mph and then pick a sprint speed and
plug it into the treadmill (there should be an option for jog speed/run
speed). Jog for 5 or so minutes then change to your sprint speed which may
be 8.5 mph for 2-3 minutes or as long as you can then immediately switch
back to your job speed to recover. This is a pretty aggressive method and
works great.
10 and 10 Cardio
This method is all about
switching the type of equipment you use. You can start off on the elliptical
for 10 minutes, have a short recovery period and move over to the treadmill
for another 10 minutes. You can repeat and switch machines up to 60 minutes
of cardio.
You want to vary the type of
cardio you do every day or every week to keep your body guessing, and just
like the 10 and 10 method switch up your machines regularly to keep your
body guessing.
To jumpstart your weight loss do
your cardio first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. This should be
done 3-5 times per week. Lastly, your diet will be crucial during this time,
make sure you eat clean and do not eat 3 hours before bedtime.
