Cardio

Avatar

I’m a pretty big fan of cardio. Running, swimming, surfing etc. I try to maintain a high level of it as surfing demands a lot!

Laps in the pool, i usually do 1.5 - 2km, running i tend to do between 5-8km and surfing, ill try and push for 2 hours in the water.

Any other cardio freaks around? What cardio activities do you participate in?

What’s cardio? LOL

I can’t say I’m the best with cardio these days, but when I was back in Australia (which wasn’t too long ago), I was swimming a few times a week and also going to Bikram Yoga (yes, it’s cardio) twice a week. Swimming and yoga are definitely my preferred cardio activities these days, and I miss them both. I’ll be getting back into both when I get back to Canada.

Aaron, have you tried Bikram Yoga before? If not, I’m challenging you to try it. They usually have cheap introductory offers, like $20 for 10 days unlimited or something. It’s hands down one of the best thing I’ve ever done for my body. Stretching, strengthening, cardio, and balance.

Nice work Jeremy! I remember you being quite a competent swimmer! I was actually looking at yoga classes tonight! I have tried Bikram Yoga once in Orlando FL. I have never sweated so much in my entire life and I felt amazing afterwards! Im going to start going more i think as the whole being flexible thing is key in life and surfing especially. Bend bend and stretch!

The first session is the hardest you’ll ever do. It gets slowly more comfortable and rewarding if you keep going. The breathing is key to staying relaxed and not overwhelmed by the heat.

I’m more into running, 3-5 kilometers. It’s a perfect way for me to relieve stress after a long work day. smile

 

hello guys,

Cardio helps me to:

Stay healthy in regards to general health

Keep me in shape for high rep sets (when combined with conditioning). storiesThis is probably my biggest motivator for getting my cardio/conditioning done.

Recover between sets faster

Burn a few more extra calories (not a lot, but some)


thanks and regards Vidmate 9Apps Cartoon HD
