When
and How Often?
Cardiovascular exercise should be done 3 to 6 times per week. If
you are working out less than three times per week your training
will likely not produce the results you want. On the other hand,
if you training more the six times per week you will likely be overtraining,
which can actually decrease the effectiveness of your exercise.
For the best results, each cardiovascular workout should last between
30 to 45 minutes.
It is not true
that doing cardiovascular exercise in the morning on an empty stomach
is the most effective way to burn fat for fuel. In fact, that is
a good formula for passing out due to extremely low blood sugar
levels. Make sure you eat about 45 to 60 minutes prior to your workout.
Otherwise, it does not matter to your body what time of day you
exercise
Losing
Fat
Burning excess fat is likely the primary reason many people take up
some type of cardiovascular training, and it is certainly a very good
reason. Many people simply have too much fat on their bodies to look
good or to maintain a healthy existence. In order to shed the fat
you will need to exercise relatively vigorously. Interval
training has proven to be a very effective means of burning fat
in a short period of time. It usually works much better than long
bouts of exercise that are low to moderate in intensity. This type
of training involves short, intense bursts of exercise interspersed
with periods of less intense exercise.
