The pros and cons of cardio training

The more cardio, the less you burn

After a long period of intense cardio training, your body gets used to the training schedule. And then, over time, you'll burn fewer calories. This is according to research from the Department of Anthropology at Hunter College in New York. You don't want this (we think), so what should you do to prevent it? The solution is obvious: variation. Try switching up your cardio workout for strength training; you'll see that it'll be more effective!

Because you already had a good heart

Cardio training also has its benefits, and one of the most important is the improvement in lung and heart health. This does require regular cardio exercises, but they can be as simple as cycling and running. Unfortunately, the weather isn't always great in the Netherlands, but you can always buy an air bike.

This bike is a great way to improve your fitness, as it challenges both the muscles in your arms and legs. It's the complete machine to boost your lungs and heart, as well as the muscles in your upper and lower body. For the real enthusiast, you can also adjust the resistance levels on this air bike. You can really push yourself!

That's something to remember!

Besides its positive effects on the lungs and heart, cardio is also good for improving your memory. It will have a positive effect on both your short-term and long-term memory. So, remember how you feel after a cardio session; according to scientific research, that will also improve.
