MODULE 5 - CARDIO
Module 5:1 - Watch Video and print Checklist
Research shows that by staying active, a person can lower the chances of getting heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, cancer, and other conditions. Physical activity is a must to turn these statistics around.
Here are just a few of the benefits of Cardio:
It makes your heart strong so it doesn’t have to work so hard to pump blood
It burns calories so you can lean up and lose weight
It reduces the risk of high blood pressure, heart attack, diabetes and high cholesterol
It increases your lung capacity, and then the body has more oxygen that is readily available for the body to recover. Lung capacity is either shrinking or expanding based on how you live your life
It will help your body utilize oxygen and remove waste through the lymphatic system
It makes you feel good
It helps reduce stress
It helps you sleep better
Module 5:2 - Pick Your Level
How to determine which level is right for you:
If you haven't been doing cardiovascular exercises at all, I suggest you start with the Beginner Cardio Level.
If you've been doing cardiovascular exercises 3 times per week for at least 30 minutes, start with the Intermediate Cardio Level.
If you've been doing cardiovascular exercises more than 4 times per week for more than 30 minutes at a time, start with the Advanced Cardio Level.
Each level has 3 months of programs. They get more challenging each month, therefore, it’s important to complete all three levels before moving on. You don’t need to kill yourself to lose weight and get in shape. When you have a balance of nutrition, cardio and training in place your body will respond. All you need to do is challenge yourself at your own level, and be consistent!
