Why you should add cardio to your regime

Regular aerobic activity, such as walking, cycling or swimming, can help you live a longer and healthier life. 
 
During aerobic activity, you repeatedly move large muscles in your arms, legs and hips. You'll breathe faster and more deeply. This maximizes the amount of oxygen in your blood. Your heart will beat faster, which increases blood flow to your muscles and back to your lungs.
 
Your body will even release endorphins, which are your body's natural painkillers that promote an increased sense of well-being
 
No matter your age, weight or athletic ability, aerobic activity is good for you! Aerobic activity has many health benefits. As your body adapts to regular aerobic exercise, you'll start to get stronger and fitter! Here's 4 of the key benefits. 
 
1. Helps maintain a healthy weight 
Combined with a healthy diet, aerobic exercise helps you lose weight and keep it off.
 
2. Reduce health risks 
Aerobic exercise reduces the risk of many conditions. These conditions include obesity, heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and stroke.
Weight-bearing aerobic exercises, such as walking, help lower the risk of osteoporosis.
 
3. It's a mood booster 
Aerobic exercise may ease the symptoms of depression, reduce the tension associated with anxiety and promote relaxation. It can improve your mental well-being and your self-esteem. It can also improve your sleep.
 
4. Help you live longer
Studies show that people who participate in regular aerobic exercise live longer than those who don't exercise regularly. They may also have a lower risk of dying of all causes, such as heart disease and certain cancers.
