Importance Of Cardiovascular Training
Women Fitness (WF) believes that the kind of
body a women desire is completely in her hands. As the old cell die
and the new ones replace them, the new cells are totally dependent
upon the building material we supply it. The food we eat, the
liquids we drink and the air we breathe determine the body we will
possess in near future. Exercise plays an important role to maintain
a fit body and sooner we realize this the better we will feel.
Cardiovascular exercise consists of a variety of exercises, which
increase the demand of oxygen by the body after 20-30 minutes. With
the maintenance of heart rate at 55-85% of the estimated maximum
heart rate laid down for every women she can workout to achieve the
body she desires.

Cardiovascular Training Methods
It is important that you understand and
implement the different methods of cardiovascular exercise into your
program. It's critical that you realize the different options of a
cardiovascular program so you can overcome any plateaus you
encounter and prevent boredom. Both of which eventually happen if
you continue to do the same exercise and the same training style.
You should always be going through a momentum phase in your
cardiovascular exercise program where you continue to achieve good
results. Thus when you reach a plateau, you want to change your
routine and implement a new method. We will teach you the three
different training methods to help you achieve a successful
cardiovascular program. Namely, interval training, composite
training and continuous training, each having its own significance
in a fitness program.
