What is Cardio Exercise

Many people normally think about a cardio workout in terms of a steady exercise e.g. running or jogging but in reality cardio exercise also known as aerobic or endurance exercise is anything that increases your breathing and heart rates and as a result, it improves the way your circulatory system, lungs and your heart work. Cardiovascular exercise uses aerobic metabolism. The body through the combustion of carbohydrates, amino acids, and fats in the presence of oxygen generates energy. Because of the cardio exercise the heart rate increases and you breathe deeply to maximize the amount of oxygen in your blood thus helping your body use it more efficiently to create energy.
