Today it seems everyone believes cardio training is necessary for health. I'd like to examine the proposed benefits of cardio in-depth. Let's start with the most important reason: heart health. From there, we'll move on more generally to training, fitness, burning fat, and overall health.

First you need to make sure that you own an iPod or even a cheap portable dvd player. Either way it won't cost you a lot of money to own this type of equipment. You might already have it. If not it shouldn't cost you less than a hundred dollars to obtain. Next you will need to pick out the type of music that will inspire you. If you don't own any music you can easily buy your favorite album on dvd or download the music from different artists that you like to your iPod. That way while you are running you can listen, and sing along while you are on your treadmill or outside in the open air. Either way you will have your new workout tape.

There are so many benefits to even the slightest cardiovascular activity, but I am going to first give you the 'mental' benefits with little technical explanation so as not to confuse you or discourage you. When you challenge yourself with even the most modest jog, you increase the amount of endorphins that your body creates. Endorphins are like a healthy morphine for you. There are trauma victims that sometimes cannot feel the pain associated with there injuries--because of the release of endorphins. It frees your mind of stress and makes you feel great. Just 20 minutes of running WILL make you feel like this. It does not have to be rigorous.

If you suffer from some form of depression--get on the treadmill. I'm not saying that this will solve your problem immediately, but it could very well help. I know this because I was prescribed Paxil to treat what I thought was mild depression during my later college years. Running helped me tremendously. It helped me to the point that not only did I ween myself off of the medication and my depression essentially disappeared, but I haven't even taken so much as a Tums for an upset stomach in I don't know how long. My mental state is night and day compared to what it used to be and I can directly attribute my success to taking action and slowly working up a jogging routine. This changed my life.

The physical benefits are abundant as well. Now, I must tell you. Running, jogging, walking, will help you lose weight initially if this is your primary goal. So if you are just starting out you will see quick results. The body is very complex and very smart, though. It will soon figure out your routine and 'adapt'. When it does, you are going to have to keep your body guessing to keep it changing. Don't let this discourage you because the changes you need to make are not that difficult, but you will have to change up the routine after a while. I see tons of people every day get discouraged because they hit a 'wall'. It isn't that they have hit a wall and will never lose another pound, but the same exact routine day in and day out won't work long term. You must change it up after awhile. Like using the incline function on the treadmill to run uphill, or varying the speeds with which you run during your jog. This WILL work....but keep the body guessing! I suggest running on a treadmill to start rather than running outside for a few reasons. The first is obvious in that some of you reading this will live in climates that are not warm year 'round. A treadmill can be used all year within the comfortable confines of your own home. You don't need to look pretty and you can grunt, scream, cry, spit--whatever you need, without social ramifications!

Second, some of you will have physical health issues--in particular bad knees. I do not have the best knees myself. In fact, my legs as a whole have never been the strongest parts of my body in my lifetime. They will get sore from time to time, and I even get some fluid buildup that will keep me out of commission for a day or two. This is where I believe the Horizon Fitness Treadmill is an appropriate model for those who have knee issues. I have personal experience with the T90 treadmill and the cushioning is a life saver. It seems to have super-shocks built into it. When I bounce on this machine I don't experience anywhere near the pain I do when I run on the hard concrete surface. This is not to say that I never experience some pain, but this happens every now and then even at random and not solely because of exercise. That Horizon Fitness Treadmill has done wonders, and it is so simple to use. If you have some form of high blood pressure, light jogging has been shown to reduce blood pressure. When you jog, your arteries will expand and contract more than usual. This helps your overall blood flow, improving your overall condition. You maximize your lungs potential as well. You will be forced to breathe heavier--and doing this will force your body to release more endorphins. Remember, you do not have to punish yourself! 20 minutes every other day to start will suffice. The most important thing to know is that you can improve your condition quickly with simple action. If you believe in yourself, and you want a solution, it is there for you. Whatever you decide to do--decide to do SOMETHING!
