Oooh.... The Cardio Devil!

Is cardio necessary?..... Yes!

Cardio is extremely necessary. If you have a Camaro with a Cobalt engine in it, is it still a Camaro? No, it wouldn't. It would be a cheap knock off and not worth what you're going to have to pay for it. The same goes for your body. If you have a body that is cut and lean does that mean that its in great shape. No, because it's motor may not be at its peak performance. 

Cardiovascular exercise strengthens the heart by increasing the heart rate. A good session of cardio should last at least 30 to 45 minutes. By strengthening the heart, we condition it so that it doesn't have to work so hard. Just like with anything else, if you don't have to work hard at something then you can work at it a whole lot longer. 

If cardio gives you problems, I would suggest joining group cardio classes. I love Cardio Kickboxing, but there are other's out there too. Zumba, Aerobics, any form of dance or martial arts. Cardio can be fun, you just have to make it that way.
