Cardio exercises are exercises focused on strengthening your heart.
Running on a treadmill, riding a stationary bike, and using the elliptical machine are all considered cardio exercises.
to get the most out of cardio; you've got to find your resting heart rate and use that to determine a target heart rate to keep your heart at whilst exercising.
for a young adult male; target heart rate is usually about 140-150.
try not to let your HR get above 170, and if it gets anywhere near 200; stop immediately.

Anything that gets your heart beating faster and could make you break a sweat. Running, jogging, stair climbing, and other full-body exercises that increase your heart-rate.
Cardio strengthens your heart and increases blood flow.

"exercise that makes your heart beat faster..aerobic stuff like running, or biking as opposed to weightlifting or stretching."
That's not really true since weightlifting can be done in such a way to increase your heart rate for an extended period.
