How Does Your Cardio Routine Stack Up?

Did you know that walking is one of the least effective ways to burn calories? If you have knee, back or another issue that prevents higher impact activities then a good bike ride is a great alternative. Another factor to note is that the more weight you lose the less effective a cardio exercise will become. This happens because your body doesn’t have to work as hard to carry itself.

To find a chart that will calculate the amount of calories burned for different types of cardio just type calorie expenditure chart into Google. There will be several useful options that come up. Many of them will allow you to customize the chart to your current weight. Make sure that the chart you are using matches your weight.

Once you have formed a strong foundation it is time to switch to interval training. There are countless studies that point to interval training as the best way to burn off unwanted body fat. Interval training has been used for years by athletes to boost performance. Another benefit is a boost in your metabolism even lasts after your workout is over. Interval training also saves time since the intensity will only allow for about 30 minutes of training.

There are millions of ways to burn calories. Be sure to pick something that you enjoy so that you can increase your chances of sticking to it. Variety also helps you from getting bored with a particular routine.

As always, let me know if you have any questions.
