What is “good cardio”? Thats of the most frequent questions I get asked. People are always asking if some specific machine or activity is good cardio or not. Before we go into what IS good cardio, lets review WHY cardio is so important •#1 lose fat! – want 6-pack abs? Only way is to lose fat thru cardio and nutrition. •#2 Cardio can improve your mood and significantly reduce depression. Its been prooven by study after study, cardio can make you happier! •#3 Perform better at school or work! Daily cardio reduces mental fatigue and gives you more energy. A recent study from the U of G showed that daily cardio reduces fatigue by 65%! •#4 Tons of other health reasons – oreduce risk of heart disease oreduce blood pressure oreduce risk of diabetes olive longer – 2hrs longer for every 1hr of exercise You’ve heard me say this before and I will repeat it again – cardio is much more important than lifting weights and if you only have 20min a day for fitness, you should spend the whole time doing cardio. Its clear that there is a lot of confusion about cardio, its really quite simple. In this video I’m going to tell you how to know what is good cardio and how to tell at a glance if a piece of cardio equipment is good or not. Lets start with the basics. The purpose of cardio is to elevate your heart rate and keep it target zone for at least 20 minutes. How elevated does your heart rate need to be? Depends on your goal, your age, and your health. If you have medical conditions, ask …
the 40 mins cardio, is it ok to
10 mins run ( jog ) 5 mins walking ( bit faster than normal tempo )
another 10 mins run, again 5 mins walking and the last 10 mins run but a bit faster previous runs…?
also about another vid, you say with the push ups 2 secs down and 2 secs up, is it also good to go 2 secs down, stay that position for 2 secs and back 2 secs up??
thx

Sprinting is cardio, cardio stands for cardiovascular which is to do with the heart, so if your heart rate goes up because of sprinting, it is cardio.
Generaly how you work out a safe max heart rate is to take your age from 220.
Eg. 220-13(your age)=207 <– this is your max safe heart rate unless your overweight or have a heart condition.
