The main parameter you need to pay attention to when doing cardio training is intensity, said “Life” fitness trainer Anzhelika Alokhova. These types of exercises increase your heart rate and breathing, help you lose weight, fight stress, and improve heart and lung function.
“The most important parameter of cardio training is intensity, not duration or number of repetitions. The higher the intensity of the exercises, the more pronounced the result. The recommended level of cardio load for an adult is 150-300 minutes per week with an average training intensity or 75-150 minutes with a high workout, ”said Alokhova.
The expert also named several high-performing cardio workouts. For example, sprint. The trainer recommends moderate jogging and brisk walking in 20-30 second intervals. You can also do interval training, which is very diverse. The expert noted that it is important to strictly adhere to rest periods (about 20 seconds between exercises and 1 minute between circles) before each run. You can also swim and do water aerobics.
Formerly, Roman Filippenko, master trainer of the Pride Fitness network of fitness clubs saidthat doing 100 jumps in the morning is a good alternative for those who don’t have time for morning exercises.
