What is the best type of Cardio?
1. Swimming
Keeps you cool while doing it, low impact. Many of us love the water and it's a form of exercise that could save your life!
2. Biking
The fastest way to get around under your own power, so you maximize the change of scenery. With e-Bikes, you can go even further.
3. Running
The oldest kind of cardio. According to Born To Run (the book) humans learning to walk and run erect is what led them to be able to hunt larger mammals which would overheat trying to escape groups of cavemen over long distances.
4. Rowing
A beautiful form of movement, and one of the rare kinds of exercise that involves the pulling/back muscles. It's also a whole-body exercise.
5. Cross Country Skiing
Also a beautiful movement, a whole-body exercise, and a great way to make snowy conditions more enjoyable.
6. Dance
Shake what yo mama gave ya.
7. Skating
Inline or ice skating are both fun.
8. Group Exercise Classes
Social and structured for optimal impact (warm-up, build, cool-down).
9. Martial Arts
Blow off any aggressive steam, maybe learn how to defend yourself...
10. Chase Kids
Young children have seemingly boundless energy. Try hanging with them at their level and watch yourself sweat.
