Cardio Workout Routines

Cardiovascular exercise is an important component of overall fitness.  A cardio workout routine will consist of physical activity which can be sustained over a prolonged period of time ideally twenty minutes or longer.  Normally such exercises will raise the heart rate to 60-80% of one's maximum capacity which declines with age.  Cardiovascular exercises include, running, swimming, biking, aerobics and elliptical ski machines.  Again please consult a physician prior to engaging in any exercise program.
