Benefits of Cardiovascular Exercise…

Dear Friends,

Last time we spoke of the importance of strength training.  Now you need to know that just as strength training is an important and integral part of every “Total Conditioning” program, so is regular and consistent cardiovascular exercise (i.e. treadmill, stationary cycling, jogging, etc…).  In fact, despite common belief, cardiovascular exercise performed regularly for the proper duration and level of intensity helps to maintain lean body mass, increase strength and muscular endurance and naturally raises the basal metabolic rate while accelerating the development of fat burning enzymes within the muscles.  All of these emphatic biochemical changes help the body to become more efficient at burning fat while wasting excess energy.

Additional Benefits Accompanied with Regular and Consistent Cardiovascular Exercise Include:

  • The sparing effect of muscle tissue
  • The utilization of body fat for energy
  • Oxygenation of the blood
  • ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production
  • HDL’s (Good Cholesterol)
  • Muscular Endurance
  • Much more…
