Cardiovascular Exercises:
1. Walking
-
Walking is the simplest, cheapest and easiest form of cardiovascular exercise. -
It is the best starting point for anyone who is just starting to exercise. -
It is very low impact and is extremely convenient. -
Start slowly, then gradually work up to walking longer and faster. -
Finding a walking partner can help keep you motivated.

2. Jogging/Running
- This is a step up from walking. It is harder and puts more impact and stress on the body.
- If you are just starting an exercise program, work through fast walking before moving up to jogging.
3. Cycling
-
Riding a bike is an excellent, no-impact form of cardio.
-
Be sure to follow the rules of the road and ALWAYS wear a helmet.
4. Swimming
-
Swimming involves all the major muscles of the body.
-
It is no-impact and is very useful for injury recovery
-
The major drawback is that you must know how to swim.
