- Cardio Workouts - What Should The Best Cardio Workout Routine Look Like?
By: Mike Singh | - Nearly all doctors and personal trainers claim that one of the best things to do to lose weight is regular good ol' cardio. Of course we know that cardio workouts are good for burning calories and essential for the healthy functioning of your heart and the pumping of the blood. But did you know that there are actually two types of options that you can choose from. There are low-intensity cardio workouts and the high-intensity variety.

- Intensify Your Cardio Workouts With Weighted Gloves
By: Weston Toth | - It is a medical fact that if you are to do the same exercise continuously for a long period of time, your body becomes accustomed to the workout and you no longer reap as many benefits from the workout. This is when you need to add some variation to your workout such as adding weighted gloves. Gloves can help you intensify your cardio workouts to get you back burning fat and shedding calories at a an unbelievable pace.

- How Hard Work = Better Cardio Workouts
By: Matt Wiggins | - They say it's better to work smart than to work hard. But when it comes to your cardio workouts, that might not be the case.
Now, that doesn't mean you should go out and do anything that's dangerous, or that you should throw caution to the wind when performing your workouts. That's not it.
However, it is erroneous to think that just because a certain machine or type of exercise is "easier" than another, and that you can even "do more" (supposedly), that you'll get more ...

- Why 'easier' Cardio Isn't 'better' Cardio
By: Matt Wiggins | - My dad always told me that it was more effecient - and easier - to work smart instead of working hard. To do this, you want to always find the most effective way of doing something.
In most areas of life, I'd say that the lesson of working smart instead of hard is one of the most valuable lessons you can learn. However, such isn't necessarily the case when it comes to your cardio workouts.
There are some areas of the fitness industry in which working smart vs. working h ...

- How To Do More Work To Increase Your Cardio
By: Matt Wiggins | - In another article, we discussed Work Capacity, and determined that Work Capacity was one of - if not the - most important factors in improving your cardio.
So, now that we know that, let's segue into the next logical question, which would be, "How do we increase Work Capacity?"
The main way would be to simply just do more work. Yeah, that's right - condition yourself to doing more work, by...doing more work. You don't have to do a whole lot at first - add small amounts ...

- Increase Your Conditioning, Increase Your Cardio
By: Matt Wiggins | - Many people think that conditioning is just cardiovascular work. However, to have complete conditioning, one must have not only cardio, but also muscular conditioning, strength conditioning, and power conditioning.
So, how to train these different modes of conditioning?
There are several different ways you could train each of these qualities individually, but there is a good way that you can get a better "bang for your training buck".
Circuits (also called ...

- Why Doing More Work Increases Your Cardio
By: Matt Wiggins | - There is a popular martial arts quote that I'd like to tell you about.
"Conditioning is the greatest hold." - Karl Gotch
Gotch's quote simply says that no matter what techniques you (or your opponent) know, if you have better cardio, and can push the fight/match longer and harder, then you'll have the upper hand.
Now, you might not be an athlete, a fighter, or even anybody who competes in anything right now. But that doesn't mean you still can't apply this ...

- Why Conditioning Isn't Just Cardio
By: Matt Wiggins | - Conditioning is one of those words that gets tossed around a lot to mean one thing, but in reality, it means so much more.
For many people, when they think "conditioning," they think cardio. This could be in the form of LSD (Long Slow Distance) jogging, interval training/sprints, skipping rope, etc - activities that get you breathing hard and sucking wind.
"Cardio" entails cardiovascular and cardio-respiratory conditioning, or, in other words, the ability of the heart t ...

- Cardio Distance Vs Cardio Intensity
By: Matt Wiggins | - When it comes to doing cardio workouts, there are two basic methods you can use - LSD and HIIT.
LSD = Long Slow Distance. A perfect example is jogging for a few miles.
HIIT = High Intensity Interval Training. A perfect example is sprinting.
LSD and HIIT are on complete opposite ends of the cardio continuum because of simple design. LSD is long, but slow. HIIT is short, but very fast.
Well, intensity and duration, as they pertain to your cardio ...

- Why You Should Look At Alternative Cardio
By: Matt Wiggins | - In most fitness circles, there are two main "types" of cardio that tends to get discussed. The first is LSD (Long Slow Distance) - an example of which would be jogging. The next is HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) - an example of which would be sprinting.
For various reasons, HIIT is generally considered a better form of cardio than LSD. This is because it doesn't take as long to perform as LSD, is more power-based, is generally easier on the body physically, contributes to b ...

- Don't Screw Up Your Interval Training
By: Matt Wiggins | - Unless you've been living under a rock for the past few years, you know that interval training has become quite popular in cardio workout training circles.
As a quick rundown, interval training (also called HIIT - High Intensity Interval Training) is a type of cardio training where you intersperse short bouts of very hard, very intense work, with short bouts of rest. The idea is to go as hard as you possibly can during your bouts of exercise. Work intervals and rest intervals can be ...

- What To Watch For When Doing Interval Training
By: Matt Wiggins | - The enormous benefits of HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) cardio workouts have become widely known in the fitness industry in recent years. However, as great as HIIT is, unless you keep your intensity super-high, you're not only going to get sub-optimal results, you'll get poor results. And if you're going to get poor HIIT results, you might as well be doing LSD (Long Slow Distance) training.
So, how do you make sure you get optimal results from your HIIT cardio workouts?

It isn't for the weak minded, the uncommitted, the excuse makers, or the so-called "know it all" that thinks 9 sets of bicep curls is going to get you a fit body.

So, in other words, someone that has a hard time losing weight more than likely has a very slow metabolic rate.since their body burns a low amount of calories and very slowly.
