Cardio Conditioning

Cardio conditioning is a form of exercise which is designed to promote cardiovascular health. In this form of exercise, the heart rate is elevated and kept high for a period of time which can vary, depending on fitness level and goals. The exerciser starts with a light warmup to get the body ready to work, transitions into moderate to high intensity exercise, and then moves into a cool down period.

In cardio conditioning, the heart muscle is made stronger. People usually experience benefits such as a reduced blood presure, lower resting heart rate, and a stronger heart which can work harder during exercise sessions. Lung function also tends to improve.
