Cardio is short for exercises that increase the cardiovascular output, which is how fast your breath and the heart works. By increasing the rate of both, you are increasing the number of calories that are burned (used up).

Cardio is short for cardiopulmonary, which means heart and lungs. The term aerobics is also used, which means oxygen. The idea behind doing exercises of this type is to have your muscles become more efficient at using oxygen. For keeping your body in good repair, it is the most important of the exercises. It involves being active for a period of time. Walking, running, cycling, jumping rope and playing tennis are examples. Weight lifting is not.

Cardio is doing aerobic exercise (meaning with oxygen). Your cardiovascular endurance is the ability or capacity of the heart, lungs and circulatory system to deliver enough blood, fuel and therefore oxygen to the exercising muscles for an extended period of time.

One thing that will help you lose weight: diet pills. I was one of those who did not believe in them until I tried it. And I tried a few. The best product I found on the market is made with pure hoodia and it works great! You can go to
http://www.mylnation.info and order you free trial, also you only pay 6.95$ shipping and handling. Good luck!
