Cardio training is a great way to get in shape and increase your lung capacity. I just found out how much fun riding a bike can be last summer. I started road biking last summer when I had surgery on my knee and couldn’t run. I just wanted some way to stay in shape but I found a fun hobby and great mode of transportation as well. I had forgotten how great riding a bike could be.
Before I was old enough to drive I rode my bike everywhere; to friends houses, to the beach, or out to eat. Last summer I relived my childhood while getting in great shape. I figured out that if I just left a little earlier than I would in a car I could go places without buying gas, and while getting an amazing cardio workout- two amazing benefits, and it’s fun! Whatever type of cardio you choose to do, whether biking, hiking, running or swimming, remember that cardio is an important part of staying healthy and happy!
