By Mitchel Sosa

Cardio exercise and training cover a wide range of activities that allow the use of major muscle groups in the body in a continuous manner. But most importantly, the very aim of cardiovascular exercise and training is mainly to improve the heart muscles.

For cardio training to be effective, it should at least try to elevate about 60 to 85 percent of the individuals considered maximum heart rate. There are various physical activities that can be considered as part of ones cardio training. Such training includes walking or jogging, running, swimming, rowing and cycling as well as doing other aerobic exercises.

There are several benefits that one can enjoy from doing regular cardio training. Doing them on a regular basis can greatly help the body even become healthier in the long run.

Here are just some of the benefits that cardio training can provide:

1. It boosts ones energy levels.

Regular cardio exercise such as running or swimming can eventually help in improving a persons energy levels. When the body goes through regular cardio training, it slowly adapts and is more able to cope up with the added strenuous physical activity. People become less tired while doing more work. In the process, they can become more energetic. Physical endurance is developed and improved over time through cardio workouts.

2. It boosts body metabolism.

A good benefit of regular cardio exercise and training is through having a better metabolism. As cardio exercises help the heart muscles cope up with added physical activities, it also helps the body to burn more calories more efficiently. Cardio training helps improve the body's metabolism in order to handle for the energy needs of the added physical activity. This can signal the body to burn up some added fuel to keep its different functions up and running. With the regular training, the body then tends to keep the metabolism up. This then helps a person burn more calories which can be very convenient for losing weight.

3. It helps improve weight control.

Regular cardio exercises can also help one maintain and keep a desired weight level. With a more improved metabolism, the body can burn more calories more efficiently. Regular cardio training can also help build up muscles through the physical activity that the body goes through. With more muscles and calories being burned by the body daily, losing some weight may be experienced which occurs as the process of burning the stored fats in the body starts. Up to a certain point when an ideal body weight is reached, people can then better maintain their weight through regular cardio training.

4. It helps prevent heart disease.

Regular cardio training can also help in the prevention of heart disease. The heart also has muscles that make it work more effectively. Strengthening them can help the heart grow stronger and delay or prevent the development of diseases associated with the heart. Aside from training programs help strengthen the heart muscles, they also help strengthen the lungs as well. Conditions associated with a sedentary lifestyle such as diabetes, obesity and heart disease can be prevented with regular cardio exercise and training.

I guess regular is the key word in the first benefit because I am beat. After I work out I am dragging. When will I start to feel the boost of energy?

Hi Junior,

Yes, regular is the keyword. If you only work out once in a while, you'll probably never feel more energy. I'd say after a few (2-3 weeks) of regular exercise, you should start to feel the benefit!

Good luck!

Still feeling beat after the workouts, but still doing them! This might be longest I have ever worked out consistantly in my life!

Hi Junior,

Do you feel like you've gained any new energy yet from working out?

I have been at this for about 4 weeks now and every time I start to exercise is still feel like I am wearing myself out, but where I have noticed a difference is that I am moving faster than I was before. I am playing with my kids longer. I think it is working just not how I imagined. I am still getting tired in the same amount of time I am just able to push myself harder when I exercise. Maybe someday that will translate into being able to go longer. What do you think?

I think you have just described yourself having more engergy! Way to go!

It sneaks up on you. You do not realize it until you are doing a workout and you realize that before your kids were complaining because they were bored and now they're complaining because they are tired!
