The opening move is to what kind of activities you'd like to do. The
trick is to consider what's accessible to you, what fits your personality
and what you'd feel comfy fitting into your life.
If you like to go outside, running, bicycling, hiking or walking are all
great choices. If you love the gym, you'll have access to stationary
bicycles, elliptical trainers, treadmills, row machines, stair masters
and more.
For the home exerciser, there are a number of first-class workout
videos to try and you don't require much equipment to get an
exceptional home cardio workout.
Bear in mind, you might not know what sort of activity you enjoy yet.
That's all part of the experience, so don't be frightened to try
something and, if it doesn't work, go on to something else.
Just about any activity will work, provided it demands a motion that
gets your heart rate into your Target Zone. Remember:
There's no 'most proficient' cardio exercise. Anything that you like
and that gets your heart rate up fills the bill
It's not what you do, but how hard you work. Any exercise may be
challenging if you make it that way
Do something you love. If you detest gym workouts, don't force
yourself onto a treadmill. If you love socializing, think about sports,
group fitness, exercising with an acquaintance or a walking club.
Pick out something you can see yourself doing at least three days a
week.
