Cardiovascular exercise should always be part of your workout routine, but there are two other crucial elements to exercise. They are “nutrition” and “weight resistance.” Without all three parts you may not be getting the workout you want or need.
As
we age , our muscle tissue shrinks or atrophies. As this
happens our metabolism slows down and our bodies can no
longer burn off the calories we consume. These extra
calories are then turned into fat and stored in our bodies.
This, in addition to a sedentary lifestyle, is what causes
obesity in many people.
The heart, like other muscles in the body, will also
atrophy.
This decreases our cardiovascular output, which causes the
heart to be less efficient in pumping blood to our muscles
and other parts of our body. In addition, the heart becomes
weaker and needs to work much harder to maintain proper
function.
When you incorporate a workout routine that includes
nutrition, weight resistance, and cardiovascular exercises,
your body will respond in a much better way. This is how we
design ALL of our programs for maximum results.
