Do I have to do Cardio?

Do I have to do cardio? Here's a question I receive almost daily, and it's fair enough. "If I am eating clean, and I mean clean, why do I have to do cardio, isn't it just calories in and calories out?" Can't I just deplete my carbs and lose the bodyfat? What's the scoop? My friends, I think we have lost our way. Why do we exercise anyways? Why did you start working out? In one word, health. Exercising isn't about how many you can bench press, how much muscle you can put on, or how great you can look in a bikini, it's about health. At the end of the day, what matters is how you are feeling, your energy level, the ability to meet your daily demands, and longevity. Cardiovascular exercise has so many benefits. Through cardio, you are stimulating your heart, your blood vessels, your muscles, and so much more. It helps to keep your blood pressure in check, your cholesterol in check, your immune system strong, and so much more. Not only does cardio have major physiological benefits, but it really can benefit the mind as well. How many of us are stressed, anxious, and worn out. Cardio has been proven to release endorphins and chemicals that help to increase serotonin levels thus improving your mood and overall sense of being. It's an excellent stress reliever, and a very positive way to release tension. I can almost guarantee that after a bout of cardio, you will feel better, be more efficient, and think more clearly. So do you have to do cardio? The answer is yes! Cardio will improve your cholesterol, your blood pressure, and help with weight and bodyfat loss. It will help psychologically, in releasing endorphins and helping to improve serotonin levels. Cardio will help you absorb nutrients from food better and improve digestion. So learn to become one with cardio, cardio is your friend! For more information, check us out at www.everybodyspersonaltrainer.com
