Weight loss and aerobics cardio exercises go hand in hand. Abs crunches and sit ups are good but they do not get the blood pumping, nor do they really help to reduce belly fat. If you are looking for the answer to losing weight and being fit and healthy, then aerobics is the way to go. The days when we were told to exercise for an hour to actually start losing weight are a thing of the past. When we perform aerobics we increase our metabolism which in turn burns fat.
In this article we describe the benefits of aerobics cardio exercises and how you can use them to become fit. You need to exercise vigorously enough for at least 20 minutes to speed up your heart beat and get the blood pumping, because it takes at least this amount of time for your body to release endorphins and get the heart rate up. You need to break a sweat, pant a bit and burn energy, and you can do this quite easily by fast dancing, jogging or sprinting. The endorphins that the brain releases are natural drugs that give you a natural high, the only kind that is legal so enjoy!
Let me give you a quick rundown of the aerobics cardio exercises you can do to achieve the maximum benefits possible.
Cycling: indoors on a stationary bike or outdoors are equally good ways to exercise and is a form of high intensity aerobic exercise.
- Aerobics classes: you will probably find plenty of classes to choose from: aerobic dancing, step, spinning, power pump and jazzercise; all available at your local health club or gym.
- Cardio equipment: treadmill, cross country ski equipment, step machines and rowing machines. Here again you can probably find all of these at your local health club or gym. You can also try the local hotel gyms if you don't find what you are looking for at the health clubs.
Get started on your aerobics cardio exercises today to reap the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.

QUESTION:
Other than running and jumproping, what are some good cardio exercises to lose weight?
Thanks!ANSWER:
Hey,
Just a note before I start: crunches, push ups, situps, etc will not help you loose weight! THEY WILL MAKE YOU GAIN MUSCLE!!!!What you really need to do if you want to loose
weight, is make sure you do these VERY important
things:1. Have no more than 1,000 calories a day! Look on
every nutrition label of what you eat, and always buy
low calorie foods!2. Exercise! But not for muscles! People get loosing
weight and gaining juscle confused. The gym is good
for tonning up muscles, but to loose weight, you
really have to run, jump, swim, and anything else that
really makes you sweat, sweat, sweat!!!! Exercise for
AT Least 1-3 hoursa a day!3. EAT HEALTHY! Some people skip breakfast and lunch
and then have a huge dinner right before bed. That is
absolutely the worst thing you can do for your immune
system! You will gain weight and will NEVER be able to
loose it because your immune system will be screwd up!
Make sure you have a large breakfast with no (or
little) breads. Like one egg, 2 turkey sausages, and
one waffle. Cereal and milk is good, but with 1% milk
and no sugery cereal like lucky charms, fruit loops,
etc.
Have a medium sized lunch, no hamburgers, fries, or
soda. A salad or tofu, or chicken strips (not fried)
or anything else yummy and helathy you can think of.
But still watch the calories.
Always remember to have dinner BEFORE 6 PM! A light
soup with toast, or low calorie mac and cheese and a
salad is good. Maybe a veggie low calorie lasgna.
Also, dont EVER eat meat after 7 pm! Especially pork
and beef. Chicken is ok, but eat it no less that 3
hours before bed.
No snacking on chips, chocolate, or any calorie
filled, starurated fat drenched, snacks during the
day! If your craving for a snack, dried fruit or
regular fruit or special K bars are good. BUT NO
ENERGY BARS, BECAUSE THEY HAVE TONS OF SUGAR!!!!4. Go to bed early! Did you know that the more you
sleep, the more fat you burn? Thats why you are always
lighter in the morning, by a pound or so.5. HAVE WILLPOWER!!!! You have to know when to tell
yourself to stop! Sometimes you need it to tell you to
go exercise, sometimes not to eat donuts and cake at a
birthday party.There is a very fine but important difference between eating your normal daily value of food, and eating healthy. People are just genetically born with either a week or strong metabolism. Slim people need to eat all types of food to keep from not loosing to much weight and bing unhealthy, and people with weak metblosms need to eat less grain, meat, and excersise way more that other people with strong metablosms.
I really hope you reach your goal!!!!!
Good Luck!!!!!

QUESTION:
What are ways to lose weight? Which cardio exercises help?

QUESTION:
Whats better to lose weight cardio exercises or weightlift, pushups, situps?ANSWER:
The best way to lose weight is through cardio exercices, at a low frequency - about 75% of your maximum heart pulse. You maximum heart rate can be calculated as: "220 - Your age." Therefore, if you want to lose weight, you should pump at about 0.75 * (200 - your age) heart beat per minutes.Your cardio sessions should be more than 30 minutes and at least 3 times a week if you really want to see a difference.
You can combine this with some weight lifting (including pushups, situpbs) if you want to tone your body.
Have a good workout!

QUESTION:
Can I lose weight by just doing strength exercises and not jogging/cardio?
I dont like jogging because its boring, takes a long time, and it drags everytime i do it. So I'm wondering is it necessary to jog or do that type of cardio to lose weight? What if i just did strength exercises like push ups, bicep curls, etc. - would that be enough to drop pounds? How often would I have to do them to see real results?ANSWER:
Hi.Yes. You can still lose fat just by lowering your calories and doing basic weight lifting. Cardio helps, but doing just weight lifting will do the job too.
Workout every other day, and just lower your calories...

Can I lose weight by doing cardio only exercises?
A friend of mine has always told me that what I want to do is stupid. He says that the best way to lose weight is to work your muscles the majority of the time. But really...I don't really care about gaining muscle. I just want to lose weight and look thinner. Is it hard to lose weight by doing cardio only exercises?ANSWER:

QUESTION:
Cardio exercises to lose weight?
15 year old female. I have gained a few pounds recently, and im really not happy about it. I want to get healthy and slim down. Right know i weigh around 106 pounds (im 5"4).
Im not happy with my thighs and middle, so please could you give me some cardio exercises that i can do that will help me slim down in these areas without gaining muscle.
By the way, I dont have time to go to the gym, or to go swimming everyday, so....ANSWER:
Just try to change your diet a little bit, and with the little time you do have you should just stay active. If you're not looking to gain muscle you should probably stay away from doing a lot of situps and stuff but using a yoga ball, or actually doing yoga could help you lose that fat.
QUESTION:
How can I lose weight if i do not like cardio exercises or running?
I hear that running and different cardio exercises along with a good diet help to lose weight, but is there anything else i can do that would have the same effect?ANSWER:
I'm a girl almost 37, but looking more like 20 and I have a hot, sexy body.
I've never been in a gym, hospital (not even dentist at this age).
(For more details about burn fat or lose weight, please click http://www.thedietsolutioncourse.com/loseweight.html )I avoid all frozed foods, fast food places, pizzas, and sandwiches.
Im into soups, more liquid meals, and plenty of vegetables and fruits. Avoid fried food, boil and steam more..
I eat everything but prefer to prepare at home and avoid restaurant foods.
You will never get the same taste if you eat out and cook home the same meal. Why?
As a former chef i could tell you there is so many little gimmicks that chefs make to prolong life of food, and be ready to easily furnish an order when a customer walks in. Easy to them, not so real to us.

Will cardio exercises make me lost weight?
I'm thin, but I want to tone my core and I don't want to lost anymore weight. Will doing cardio exercises make me lose weight?ANSWER:
yeahh im pretty skinny too, and im toned and have a 4-pack. i found that doing various types of sit ups and crunches to great. also, kickboxing (great core and muscles building), hot yoga (i find difficult! but its worth it), or pilates (great for toning and flexibility) is great, too! cardio exercises are good to warm up, but don't do too much..20-30 min is good.

I do a dance cardio video- you can get one for cheap on Amazon. Basically any of them will do and they are fun too. Just exercise for 40-60 minutes a day- it doesn't have to be all at once. It also is good if you alternate exercise routines week by week or your body will get used to it and you will hit a plateau.

QUESTION:
What are some good cardio exercises for losing weight fast?
I jog/run for 15 minutes up to twice a day, but I am looking for more cardio exercises, especially ones that I can do for free.I have access to Wii fit and Wii Sports, as well as a bike. I would also like to know some equipment free exercises.
ANSWER:
You should do yoga, seriously. Keeps joints lose, strengthens muscles and bones.Here is a video of the Sun Salutation --- if you like it, then watch the video and imitate.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKRHxLBnn4IFor additional cardio-exercise, look at this one:
Jump-squat, squat-thrust, burpee, line-jump : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-6JM8VA9m0Or this : lunges, jumping jacks, glute kickbacks, others: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1Uc86SH6h4
------------
And this exercise is not cardio but it strengthens the core. The Texas Back Institute recommends the leg drop instead of crunches or sit-ups. (doing this twice a week, tops, is all you would need)

Well i get my stuff for http://Acai-Berry-Top-Elites.com

QUESTION:
What is the best cardio exercise to lose weight the fastest?
i don't know if its running, swimming, or kickboxing. Can someone tell me which is the best to lose fat the fastest?ANSWER:
Swimming is great for "streamlining" you, but running is probably best, be sure to mix it up as jogging at a consistent pace will burn hardly anything and if you are new to athletics exercise caution because you can injure yourself and cause long-term damage to your joints if you do this wrong.

QUESTION:
Would a cardio only exercise program help lose weight?
I'm trying to lose weight and I f'm wondering if doing cardio exercises only would be enough or is it very helpful to also incorporate muscular exercises. Keep in mind I am also on a diet plan so that shouldn't really be addressed.ANSWER:
Of course it would. Gaining muscle is actually more likely to slow your weight-loss down - but only because muscle weighs more than fat. Believe me, it'd be a hundred times better to be 200 pounds and completely ripped than 200 pounds and nothing but fat.

QUESTION:
lose weight? wii fit cardio?! exercises?
I have the wii fit PLUS game for my wii.i need to lose breast fat and heard cardio is the best way to lose it. I'm a girl by the way. what exercises are cardio? what games? how much weight can you lose on wii fit if you do an hour or 2 a day? I will also be doing just dance and just dance 2. are those good games for cardio too(can i lose boob fat?) i'm going to be doing all of those games total for around 2-3 hrs a day .. how much weight do you think I can lose in a month by doing that and i'll also be eating right. I'm around 136 lbs and I need to look good by nxt summer becaus eI have a michigan adventures trip next may. I also need to get rid of my stretch marks by then. what helps? I have some on my things, near my butt(like around it?) I have them by where my rasberrie, love handles were(there still there sort of .. I have gold bond ultimate moisturizer .. would that work if i put it on 2wice a day ..?anything else that will help them go away by next may? THANXX!:)ANSWER:
The best way to maximize your weight loss is to create a caloric deficit through diet, and then add on the cardio through wii.Say for instance, hypothetically speaking, if you eat McDonald's fries everyday and a 16-20oz soda, cut that out of your diet daily. So that would be cutting out around 500 to 750 calories daily from the food you eat. Honestly in my opinion, the easy but hardest way to lose weight is to just cut out your most favorite food and your most favorite juice or soda that you drink daily). Whatever food or juice/soda you drink everyday, cut out half of the amount you eat of it. This is a good starting point without going "cold turkey" and going through withdrawls. Yes, food affects your brain just like drugs or alcohol.
Then whatever cardio or weights you do is just adding to your already weight loss that will occur
QUESTION:
what are some good cardio exercises and what are good exercises that can help me lose weight?
I feel like I am fat so what are some good things I can do AT HOME to lose weight..thanks
Caitlin!
I want exercises not pills please!ANSWER:
In the home exercises are a little harder. If you have a treadmill that'd be great because running really is the best form of exercise when you're looking to burn fat and calories. Or if you have a dog take them for a walk or run every day but that's not inside the home.If you have stairs trying running up and down them or just going up one down one really fast for as long as you can, i used to do that and it can get your heart working. You can also use youtube and look up home cardio exercises, google too. The internet is GREAT for that stuff.
Hope this helps.
QUESTION:
Do i have to be "out of breath" for cardio exercises in order to lose weight?
Hi, I heard that in order for cardio exercises to be truly effective, you have to be "out of breath" if you know what I mean, after you do the exercise to truly lose weight and strengthen the heart. The thing is, I'm always out of breath ont he treadmill after I do it, but it hurts my ankles severly. Whenever I use the elliptical, I can work out on a pretty high resistance for an hour non stop but I never feel that I'm exhausted or out of breath. What I'm asking is if the elliptical training that I'm doing is actually helping me lose weight (it usually says i burn 600 calories if I do it for an hour), or if it's just not being as effective as a treadmill?ANSWER:
No, no, no. You don't have to out of breath to lose weight. And be sure to get adequate rest when your muscles hurt so bad.
QUESTION:
Can I do cardio exercises without losing weight?
I'm really underweight, so don't want to lose any weight because I'm trying to gain it.
But my fitness levels are really bad, I get out of breath just from walking, & my heart rate's ridiculously fast after walking up the stairs.
I have a disability which affects my muscles and bones, which is the reason for me being underweight, my eating habits are fine haha. This means that I can't do really phsyically demanding exercises, like weight lifting, but I'm hoping I can do cardio, except for swimming cos I'm unable to swim lol.Thanks in advance!

QUESTION:
If trying to lose weight would strengthening exercises or cardio be more beneficial?
I usually do both for 20 minutes should I maybe to cardio for 30 and strengthening for 20?ANSWER:
every little bit helps...if possible, do an hour our more....One thing that works for me is: before I eat, I drink a large glass of water, then if I'm still hungry, I won't eat as much as I would have.
It's better to eat 5-6 small meals than 2 or 3 regular meals each day.
also, fyi:
1 pound = 3500 calories.
If you burn more calories than you eat, you will lose weight.
ie, if you eat 2000 calories per day and burn 2500, you will lose 1 pound every week.
the average person burns 1000-1500 calories per day, just being alive.
power walking can burn 200-500 calories per hour.
exercise bike can burn 200-600 calories per hour.
swimming can burn 100-800 calories per hour.
jogging/running can burn 300-1200 calories per hour.Also, try not to eat within 3-4 hours of going to sleep.
*********VERY IMPORTANT************
when trying to lose weight, very important to drink lots and lots of water ! ! !
You should drink at least 10 glasses per day, like 1 glass every hour !This helps your body get rid of the fat when you are burning calories.
QUESTION:
what exercises are best to lose weight thats not cardio?
i dont have the space to run, or a ride to get to anywhere where i can run.
whats some other exercises,? like jumping rope, crunches, sit-up..?i want to lose 20 pounds by summer.
HELP?ANSWER:
Well it looks like you got the first Three, also mountain climbers are really good, if you don't know what they are then just google them, lunges, squats, walking up stairs, and push ups. I suggest that you pick like 4 things for the day, and then do like 20 reps each for all 4 and then take a 2 min break and repeat about 5 times, then follow it up some light jogging in place.
QUESTION:
Best type of cardio exercise to lose weight?
By the way, I don't have a lot of free time. I go to college and have a part time job as well as volunteer work, so in general, I have about an hour each day to work out.
Does anyone have any recommendations? Btw, I tried the gym, but it's too far form my house to go every day. Oh, and I walk to and from work and college, which is about three miles altogether xANSWER:
QUESTION:
When you exercises to try to lose weight/fat, when do you do your cardio and weight lifting?
Are you supposed to take turns (one day 30 min cardio then the next day 30 min strength etc.)
or do you do both in the same day. Which is better to do and why. Thank YouANSWER:
This might not be the answer you wanted to hear but there really isn't a "best" time and way to do your workouts in order to burn fat. How and when you workout should be determined by your preference and what your daily routine is like. You can do both weightlifting and cardio in one day, I do that all the time. You can also do one day cardio and one day weightlifting if that's what fits into your schedule. If anything, doing cardio and weightlifting in one day would on paper be more effective because that's doing twice the physical activity in one day so you're burning more calories. But, again doing more isn't always better so doing both doesn't mean more effective either.As long as you do physical activity every day and diet well you' ll be fine. Good luck
QUESTION:
Do I HAVE to do exercises along with cardio to lose weight?
I'm trying to lose 25 pounds. I'd like to lose 1-2 pounds a week. I'm already on a healthy diet, and I've been doing between 30 min to an hour of cardio (running on the treadmill) everyday for the past couple weeks.I was wondering if I have to do more exercises (squats, sit-ups, push-ups, etc) in order to lose the weight?
If it helps, I'm trying to become skinnier in my stomach area, thighs, and upper arms.
Thanks!

QUESTION:
How long (hrs/min)should I do cardio exercises each day to lose weight?I'm 26 yo,5´7,135lb. Goal:125lbs.?
I had my first baby 15 months ago.ANSWER:
Sorry, but there's no real way to say. It all depends on what kind of exercise you do, how long you do it and whether or not you go for a calorie reduction in your diet in the process.You have a goal, all you need is direction, the rest will take care of itself.
A good rule of thumb is between 1-2 pounds a week so you're looking at 5 to 10 weeks depending of course on what you do.
QUESTION:
If I do cardio exercise only, will I lose weight?
I have been trying to lose weight for a while. I've been doing it for about 2 months. I'm not seeing that much effect.I'm only doing cardio exercises, an hour each for taebo and brisk walking. Is it the reason why I'm not losing weight.
I'm not good in counting calorie intake. I eat anything in small amount.
ANSWER:
face the truth dear...when you are overweight,the only way to get slim & stay slim is a lifestyle change...workout 5 days a week and calorie shift your meals...you dont need pillsat all!natural stuffs like apple cider vinegar and green tea can help you for good...you dont hav to count calories...cardio alone will push you into plateau stage very easily...always incorporate toning workouts...the simplest toning will be either 20-30 mins of yoga or pilates 6 days a week...you can learn these stuffs online nowdays at no cost...
QUESTION:
What is the best cardio to exercise to lose weight?
should I be running straight for 30-45? Or mix up the machines for about an hour? I need to lose 15 IBs by Feb ANSWER:
What you need is 20 to 40 minutes of vigorous physical activity.It could be swimming, running, biking or really anything that keeps the heart rate up.
I would not recommend mixing up machines unless you can go from machine to machine with no breaks.
Cardio work-outs are my least favorite and I have tried to get around this part of my workout since I started, but they are necessary if you wish to lose fat while you are gaining muscle.

Help, Cardio, Lose Weight?
I Need To Lose Weight. I Weigh 196 Pounds. What Type Of Cardio Exercises Will Help Me Lose Weight, Fast. Also Do Abgymnic Toning Belts Help? I Want To Lose At Least 50 Pounds Before July, Any Ideas?ANSWER:
Hey,
Just a note before I start: crunches, push ups, situps, etc will not help you loose weight! THEY WILL MAKE YOU GAIN MUSCLE!!!!What you really need to do if you want to loose
weight, is make sure you do these VERY important
things:1. Have no more than 1,000 calories a day! Look on
every nutrition label of what you eat, and always buy
low calorie foods!2. Exercise! But not for muscles! People get loosing
weight and gaining juscle confused. The gym is good
for tonning up muscles, but to loose weight, you
really have to run, jump, swim, and anything else that
really makes you sweat, sweat, sweat!!!! Exercise for
AT Least 1-3 hoursa a day!3. EAT HEALTHY! Some people skip breakfast and lunch
and then have a huge dinner right before bed. That is
absolutely the worst thing you can do for your immune
system! You will gain weight and will NEVER be able to
loose it because your immune system will be screwd up!
Make sure you have a large breakfast with no (or
little) breads. Like one egg, 2 turkey sausages, and
one waffle. Cereal and milk is good, but with 1% milk
and no sugery cereal like lucky charms, fruit loops,
etc.
Have a medium sized lunch, no hamburgers, fries, or
soda. A salad or tofu, or chicken strips (not fried)
or anything else yummy and helathy you can think of.
But still watch the calories.
Always remember to have dinner BEFORE 6 PM! A light
soup with toast, or low calorie mac and cheese and a
salad is good. Maybe a veggie low calorie lasgna.
Also, dont EVER eat meat after 7 pm! Especially pork
and beef. Chicken is ok, but eat it no less that 3
hours before bed.
No snacking on chips, chocolate, or any calorie
filled, starurated fat drenched, snacks during the
day! If your craving for a snack, dried fruit or
regular fruit or special K bars are good. BUT NO
ENERGY BARS, BECAUSE THEY HAVE TONS OF SUGAR!!!!4. Go to bed early! Did you know that the more you
sleep, the more fat you burn? Thats why you are always
lighter in the morning, by a pound or so.5. HAVE WILLPOWER!!!! You have to know when to tell
yourself to stop! Sometimes you need it to tell you to
go exercise, sometimes not to eat donuts and cake at a
birthday party.There is a very fine but important difference between eating your normal daily value of food, and eating healthy. People are just genetically born with either a week or strong metabolism. Slim people need to eat all types of food to keep from not loosing to much weight and bing unhealthy, and people with weak metblosms need to eat less grain, meat, and excersise way more that other people with strong metablosms.
I really hope you reach your goal!!!!!
Good Luck!!!!!
QUESTION:
Is playing the wii games like boxing, bowling a good way to get cardio exercise and lose weight?ANSWER:
Wii bowling isnt a very good excercise all your doing is moving your arm back and forth.Wii boxing on the other hand is awesome for cardio, i remember when i first started playing it I was out of breath within the first round
QUESTION:
Do you absolutely have to do cardio to lose weight or could this be done with exercises using free weights?
If cardio is absolutely necessary then how much is recommended?ANSWER:
It is not absolutely necessary, but it will be extremely slow to burn the fat off. Unless you are on a very restricted diet and you do exercises using free weights, it will be possible for you to lose weight. You might be losing muscle rather than fats though. Thus it is highly recommended to do your cardio to drop the bodyfat, 3 to 5 times a week, 45 minutes to an hour per session. You can alternate low intensity cardio with high intensity cardio, so long your body can recover with it. You would have to moderate your eating as well. You will not be able to lose the fat if you eat more than what you burn.
QUESTION:
What are some good exercises for weight lose?
I need to lose weight in 2 months. I've read that I should do 2 hours of weight sessions, and 2 hours of cardio. What are some good exercises for a weight session? I don't have any weights or anything. And good exercises for cardio? I have a treadmill, and a bike. Thanks!ANSWER:
weight loss has more to do with the "kind" of food you eat and very little to do with exercise.you could eat 1 slize of pizza and get 300 calories - very unhealthy.
you could eat a plate full of Stir-fry Chicken and get 300 calories - healthy.
find out how much calories your body needs just an approximate amount and eat a balanced diet to stay within that range( again approximately).
if u eat a lot of carbs, then do more cardio - it is more effective to run outdoors than treadmills(explanation on this can be another topic of discussion in itself).
that being said here are good excercings for weight loss:
-Lift light weights and do higher number of repetitions(like 15 reps of 3 sets - light weight slow repititions shed weight but you must go for the 3rd set thats where the burning happens when you body is aching and wants to give up)
-do ground excercies like pushups, glutes, situps.
-do crunchesdon't do the same thing every day. SURPRISE your body with different excises and different rep patterns. one day do bicep curls for 15 reps 3 sets. after 3 days when u do bicep curls do 10 reps 5 sets.
take good rest, get good sleep.
QUESTION:
i want to lose weight. should i do cardio exercises or sculpt?
i m 20, 5 feet and 160 lbs and i want to lose weight healthily. i want to lose lbs since i do need to cut some off in a few months, like 60 lbs in 6 months. is it possible? should i do cardio or sculpt exercises?
pls advise me i feel so terrible about my weight.PS. don't waste ur time and my time on putting ads here cos i m a student and i can't afford anything besides stationary and food.
i am also afraid that if i stop exercising or start eating again, i might gain weight back.
what should i do?ANSWER:
Can it happen, sure. Will it happen? Probably not. You will see very good results the first couple weeks and then it will slow down, but that's normal.Sculpting exercises? Weight train, and do cardio. Eat properly.
Weight train??? BUT IM A GIRL... I DONT WANT TO GET BIG AND BULKY.
You won't, so don't worry about it. You don't have enough testosterone or eat enough food to put on a significant amount of muscle. You can put on some however, which will help raise your resting metabolic rate.
Sculpting exercises... I don't even know what that is. Your muscle can either get bigger, stay the same size or get smaller... You will get more visible muscles by losing fat.
Simple huh?
QUESTION:
Will you lose any weight doing strength exercises only, or must you do cardio?
And by strength exercises, I mean situps, pushups, free weights, lunges, stuff like that. And like how many situps or lunges would i have to do to lose weight?ANSWER:
Those exercises are great to tone the muscles, but not necessarily to lose fat. You definitely need to add cardio into your routines for maximum results.
QUESTION:
what cardio exercises are best for losing weight?
i would like to lose 15 lbs in one or 2 months. i am eating less calories but i still need to do exercise to burn 1000 calories a day. i was running a mile but that only burns 70 calories and i am not fit enough to run more then that. are there any other exercises that burn calories easily?ANSWER:
Jumping rope burns a bunch of calories and tones your legs, butt, arms, chest, and back at the same time!
QUESTION:
What exercises are considered to be "cardio"?
I need cardio exercises to lose weight on my thighs and butt. So what exercises are considered to be cardio?ANSWER:
running, jogging, jumping rope, skipping, swimming, bicycling, dancing anything that gets your heart beat up.....
QUESTION:
what would be the best cardio exercise to lose weight?
i ride an exercise bike 40 mins a nite but i find it to not help muchANSWER:
I'd say do two different types of cardio (ex: running + biking for 20 minutes apiece), and then every 3 or 4 weeks drop one or both of the exercises and add in new ones. For example, replace the running with jumproping, and/or the biking with light weight lifting. Never let your body adapt to your workout, because that minimizes results.
