Cardio Exercise

Everyone has wondered at some point in time which cardioexercise is better. To put it in simple terms, both low andhigh intensity exercises will help you to burn off body fat.The question here is which is the most effective to burn offmore body fat. When scientists first discovered that during intensiveexercises, your body burns glycogen, which is a form of storedcarbohydrates that are stored in your liver and muscles forenergy. During low intensity exercises, your body will burn alot of fat. If your wondering whether or not it works, the answer is nobecause there are so many obese people still around. Eventhough they are working out with low intensity routines, itstill makes you wonder how it can be. The scientists were right when they said the human body burnsmore body fat during low intensity exercises like walking orswimming. During a high intensity exercise such as running, thebody will burn a lot more calories. Even if some of the caloriesburnt are from glycogen, there are still many fat caloriesburned as well. To put the icing on the cake, when your store of glycogen getslow, the carbohydrates from your food you eat will later getconverted into glycogen to fill up the store and won't beconverted to body fat when they are left unused for energy. High intensity cardio exercise will juice up your metabolismeven after you have completed your workout. What this means, isthat your body will continue to burn body fat hours after youhave left the gym. This effect is nearly non existent in lowintensity cardio or aerobic workout. Accumulatively, your body will burn up more and more caloriesduring and after you have finished a high intensity cardioexercise that it will with low intensity. You can inject high intensity exercises into your cardioworkout by introducing some interval training. You can walk for5 minutes or so, then break into some jogging for another 5minutes or so. Then, walk briskly again until you have caughtyour breath and then sprint for a minute before you walk again.From this point, simply alternate your running and walking forthe next 15 minutes until you are finished. One of the best things about cardio is the more you do it, themore energy you'll have. Cardio will help you to burn calories,although its more useful for keeping your energy levels high. If you've never tried cardio before, you should give it a shot.If you like to exercise, you'll find cardio the best way toboost your energy and keep in top shape. If you are juststarting out, you'll want to go slow and keep your cardioexercise in track - as it is very easy to over exert yourself.About The Author: Mohamed Rabea - Online Tips and Resources!http://wheyproteinpowder.wheyproteinhome.infohttp://wheyproteinpowder.wheyproteinsite.infohttp://wheyproteinpowder.wheyproteinweb.info
