Cardio is an incredibly important and valuable part of your health, wellness and weight loss efforts.

When done properly, cardio can do the following things for you:

• Improve how your body responds to carbs
• Boost mood
• Reduce your risk of heart disease and diabetes
• Promote fat loss
• Foster recovery from other workouts
• Improve heart health

The key here is that your cardio needs to be done properly.

So what does “properly” mean? Check out this week’s video below to learn more!

And, you might be wondering why it would be a problem if you were doing cardio “wrong”, right?

Doing your cardio wrong could cause any or all of the following:

• Pronounced hunger and food cravings
• Chronic fatigue and exhaustion
• Hormonal imbalance
• Lack of results
• Loss of muscle
• Elevated cortisol (the stress hormone)

In this week’s video I share my thoughts on the best time of day to do cardio, some notes on the different kinds of cardio, and other good details. Check it out below!
