⁉️😅CARDIO TRAINING😅⁉️
JUST BECAUSE YOU CANT SEE YOUR HEART AMD LUNGS DOESNT MEAN YOU NEGLECT TRAINING THEM‼️
❎ A mistake until recently I made for a few years was only training with weights and resistance machines daily missing out on any form of cardio at all 😬.
This was great to gain muscle size and shape however, not good for my body fat levels and overall health. Now dont get me wrong I played rugby for years but once that stopped until recently I became lazy and basically never did any form of cardio completely forgetting im neglecting the most important muscle in the body! The ❤.
Fast forward to recently and setting myself a challenge to run a half marathon for charity I have been implementing regular runs with my strength training and the benefits are showing in many ways such as...
🔵 Improved resting heart rate
🔵 Better quality of sleep
🔵 Increased recovery between sessions
🔵 Increase in Mental positivity
🔵 Reduced blood pressure
🔵 Reduction in weight and body fat
Cardio doesn't need to be a run everyday as that becomes tedious. It can be as simple as cycling, walking the dog, taking the stairs at work or implementing 2 days a week like myself for some form of cardio work to aid training protocols 💪
