So.... We've all done cardio before, the treadmill, eliptical, stair climber and numerous other machines but do you ever check your heart rate to know where you are and where you shold be...
If you are doing a 25-30 minute cardio you should be getting your heart rate up to it's max and back down anywhere between 8-15 times for a good fat burning workout... That's called a HIIT (high intensity interval training)!
By wearing a heart rate monitor you will be able to see where your heart rate is at all times, if it's not getting up there then you know you need to push it harder, most machines have a built in monitor that pick up the sensor on the one that you are wearing, you can find them online, Target, Wal-Mart or any sporting good store... You can also find a graph of where your heatr rate should be for your age at http://www.heart.com/heart-rate-chart.html
Challenge yourself when you are doing your cardio this is one of the best ways to lose body fat and get toned in addition to strength training!!!
Start Kickin' the cardio!!!
