Cardiovascular exercise is a word most of them are scared of and for few it is a passion that would never end. What ever might be one’s feeling, it is one of the key aspects that should not be left out of ones exercising regime.
Cardiovascular training is supposed to increase the heart’s ability to pump blood and increase in oxygen intake by the cells. Cardiovascular training is mostly by bodybuilders to increase calorie burning and thus increase fat metabolism. The use of low-intensity cardio done before or after weights training would allow one to burn more calories without hampering recovery. It is not as strenuous as the high intensity cardio. High intensity cardio is very difficult to complete and would affect the weight lifting exercise. It would lead to fatigue. Cardiovascular training concentrates on healthy body building while avoiding injury in any form. It is advised to do cardiovascular training pre or post weights training thus does not hamper recovery.
Different forms and methods of performing cardiovascular exercises are available. Each of which would have specific benefit. Most of them use cardiovascular exercise as a way to loose weight but it has other benefits like increase in energy levels and also increases in building muscle mass. Cardiovascular exercises would increase metabolic activity in the body and thus affects the fat metabolism. It is also known to affect hormonal profile in the body. It is said that it would help release of hormones that would reduce fatigue and depression and also some hormones that affect appetite.
Some type of cardiovascular exercises usually the moderate to lower speed forms are supposed to decrease recovery time too. For example, you could ease yourself with cardio post a hard session of performance in gym. It is said that bodybuilding is a combination of an overloaded stimulus and sufficient amount of rest to allow the healing of the muscle. Cardio is supposed to reduce the chances of muscle soreness.
It is suggested to do cardio early in the morning for at least 45 minutes. Doing cardio before eating food would ensure body fat is mobilized rather than the fat from the food eaten. Cardio has to be performed at moderate rate and limited to 70 percent of heart rate maximum. Once the body starts using muscle stores for energy, the exercise would soon become counterproductive.
If you have slower metabolism and higher weight, it is suggested to do another round of cardio probably in the evening or afternoon. However, do not continuously do cardio for more than 45 minutes. Make sure to program your regime for a proper cardio. Split weight training is the method followed by advance bodybuilders. They might choose to do chest exercises in the morning and triceps in the evening. This kind of regime would help in better isolation of the body parts and would concentrate on individual body parts. It would be very hard for the body to sustain or recover from two cardiovascular exercises and two weight exercise. So it is suggested to limit to one weight exercise per day as the day of contest is approaching.
