You'll find everything you need to know right here on Weight Lifting Complete. Keep reading...

Cardiovascular exercise is an important aspect of any weight lifting program. Everyone should do cardiovascular exercise no matter what their goals may be. Exercising your heart is something that should take priority in your life.

I don't know if you realize this, but your heart is a very important part of your life. Don't take your heart for granted. Keep it healthy and you will be a happy person for a long time.

Besides keeping your heart healthy, cardiovascular exercise plays an important role in building muscle and losing fat. I like to perform different types of exercise and different activities to counter the dullness.

Many people despise cardio activities because many of these activities are rather boring. I like to mix it up a little every once in a while and try something different. I'm also going to tell you how to make it a little more fun by taking your mind off of the exercise.

Cardiovascular Exercise Basics

You're going to need to know how to measure your heart rate as a check to make sure you're not performing the activity too hard or too easy.

Measuring heart rate is pretty simple. You more than likely already know how to measure your heart rate.

It can be tedious, though to measure your heart rate during your cardio workout. There are devices for measuring your heart rate that make it easier for you.

These heart rate devices continue measuring while you do your exercise so you don't have to stop and take a measurement.

Your heart rate will be important for determining whether you are doing low intensity or high intensity. Both types of cardiovascular exercise are discussed below...

• Low Intensity

• High Intensity

Cardiovascular Exercise Strategy

Everyone should be doing cardio while using the WLC System. No matter if you're trying to gain weight, build muscle, lose fat, or lose weight you need to exercise your heart and cardiovascular system.

Weight lifting is good exercise, but cardio is good exercise for your heart. Weightlifting does not work the cardiovascular system like aerobics.

There are so many benefits from doing aerobic exercise that you'd be crazy not to include it in your WLC System plan.

You not only get increased fat loss, but you get increased recovery from your weight lifting workouts along with all the extra health benefits. Cardio can even help increase your appetite and get that metabolism revved up.

You should do a different amount of cardio and different types should be done while using the WLC System for the two different goals.

What are the two different goals you can choose from while executing the WLC System?

Did you develop your goals in the Weight Lifting Schedule section?

You need to know what your goal on WLC is going to be in order to know which cardiovascular exercise plan to use. Your goal will either be muscle building or fat loss. Go to the appropriate program below that fits your goal.

Now that you know your goal and the difference in Low Intensity and High Intensity Cardio, we need to know how to utilize them for the WLC System.

Making Cardio Workouts Fun

Let's face the facts here. Cardio can be very boring at times, but you have to remember its importance. It is one of the most important things you can do for your health.

If you want to be healthy and live longer, you've got to be doing your cardio. Don't come up with excuses not to do your exercise. Start doing your cardiovascular exercise today and watch your body transform.

Why do boring cardiovascular exercise? Because it keeps us healthy and living longer for our friends and family. We have an obligation to them to take care of ourselves. They need us and we need them.

We can make cardio workouts more exciting by doing a few simple things. How in the world could we make this boring exercise more exciting?

You need to change your cardio around from time to time and try something different.

Cardio can be fun when you change it around and try new methods.

For example, go bike riding outside when the weather is nice instead of riding inside on a stationary bike. Go jogging or walking with your dog at the park on a nice day. Do your exercise in different locations.

Cardio Equipment: Simply changing the cardio equipment you have can make cardiovascular exercise much more fun.

Buy some new equipment for home, or try something new at your gym. Changing the style of cardio you perform will also keep your fat loss at a maximum. Having fun will keep you going too.

Music
Listening to your favorite music can help while doing cardio. Get you a portable mp3 player if you're going to be on the move.

Audio Books
You might as well get a good story in while doing your cardio. You can get instructional audio books and learn something while doing your cardio. Listening to audio books are one of my favorite things to do while doing cardio. Download something you've always wanted to learn about.

Audio books are really the best for cardio. Learning and exercising just can't be beat. If you get an audio book you're really interested in, the time goes by very fast.

Television
Watch you some TV if you're going to be stationary. Put on Sportscenter if you're a big sports fan. Watch your favorite TV show. Catch up on the news.

DVD
Watch a favorite movie of yours. Rent you a new movie that you've been wanting to see and split it up over a few days and only watch while you do your cardio. You'll even look forward to your next cardio session so you can watch your movie.

Video Games
If you're doing your cardio on a stationary bike or another piece of equipment that use of your arms is not required, a good video game will keep you're mind off the cardio. If you're like me, I still like to play a good game of Madden Football.

Summary of Aerobic Exercise

You've got to make your cardio fun or you'll get tired of doing it because it's so monotonous. Understanding the importance of cardio will also help you stay consistent.

I've always had trouble staying consistent with cardiovascular exercise, so I had to find ways to make it fun.

If you've got any more ideas for making your weight lifting and cardio fun, please let me know.

Weight lifting requires more concentration than cardio so I like to keep distractions to a minimum when lifting weights. Cardio can use some distractions, though. Time will pass much faster.
