What About Salads?

In case you’re not a salad lover, let me be one of the first to tell you that you’re missing one of the most delicious foods a person can consume. Salads come in all sorts of styles, combinations, and are served with so many various toppings, that you could probably find a different salad for every day of the month.

One of my most favorite choices in dining is to go to the local buffet (they have a fabulous salad bar) and eat till my heart is content of the salad choices offered.

How To Do Cardio Without Running

The word “cardio” and “cardio workouts” are becoming a bit of a misunderstood term. Cardio is short for “Cardiovascular” meaning your heart, arteries, lungs, and muscles. For simplicity sake this is what we will consider “Cardio” to mean. Cardio has become slang for any type of workout that keeps your heart rate elevated at some steady state for a prolonged period of time, for example: running on a treadmill or an elliptical trainer. Cardio training has obvious health benefits like reduced blood pressure, increased insulin sensitivity, reduced blood cholesterol and triglycerides to name a few. These however are most likely secondary to most people who are doing cardio for the expressed purpose of burning more calories in an effort to lose fat/weight. Traditional cardio type workout may not be the best answer.
