Cardio Vascular Exercise
HOW TO GET STARTED IN CARDIOVASCULAR EXERCISE Cardiovascular exercise is like any exercise, which stimulates and works our heart muscles. Exercise is good for us, whether it be walking, running, bending or stretching in the gym or in the privacy of our own homes. As we get older exercise can be hard to do, therefore any type of exercise is helpful. Everybody needs chores to be completed daily and the bending and stretching when pushing around a vacuum cleaner, is using a form of resistance as the vacum is pushed backwards and forwards. This is good exercise to tone up our arms and our legs. Mowing the lawn is another form of exercise which is good for us and uses resistance as does washing the kitchen floor. Resistance training is based on the principle that the muscles of your body work to overcome a force when required to do so. This means that a health benefit to using resistance could include muscle strength and tone, healthy weight and an increase in bone density and strength
