Your Cardiovascular Fitness Programme - Do Not Delay; Get Started Today!

By Andy G Smith


Cardiovascular Exercise - In this section I will be detailing cardiovascular exercise. Cardiovascular exercise is beneficial for a number of reasons: Firstly, it improves the efficiency of your heart and lungs and enables your body to take in and pump larger quantities of oxygen. If your body is able to take in and pump more oxygen then you are less likely to get out of breath as quickly. You will be able to continue physical activity for longer periods of time and your heart and lungs will generally be healthier. This is known as cardiovascular fitness.

Your goal is to build up progressively until you are 30 minutes of cardiovascular activity at an RPE of 7 or more. This is the case for everyone, irrespective of your personal aims. This intensity will enable you to burn fat as well as improve the efficiency of your heart and lungs (CV fitness).

I want you to visualise this is a ladder and your goal is to climb to the top. Each time you slip (perhaps you miss your training for 2 weeks), just get back on the ladder and keep climbing! Remember in my last article I said that you must be in this for the long haul? Well, missing a few training session does not mean you failed, it just means you lost your footing! You know that you can do this if you commit to it!

Aim to complete 3 sessions of up to 30 minutes duration each and every week starting from today! Make a note at the end of each session describing how you felt once you completed the exercise.

The vision of Usana is supported by the company's mission: "To manufacture the highest quality, science-based products that people can trust - what is on the label is what is in the bottle - providing maximum bioavailability for better health around the world and giving everyone the opportunity for a better quality of life."

That said, only work up to higher difficulties as your health improves. You should be in this for the long haul, so don't over do it in the first couple of days! Start with what you are comfortable doing and aim to progress over time. Also, seek support from your GP if you have any health conditions or concerns.
