Walk Run Jog Your Way To A Thinner You

Cardio is king when it comes to exercise and losing weight. Besides diet, there is no faster way to shed weight. Walk, run, jog, swim, play tennis, or dance are all good forms of cardio.

Exercise and diet will soon be on all our minds as we edge closer to the holiday season. After all Mom's famous dressing, mash potatoes and apple pie will light up our taste buds but it won't make us happy once we step on the scales. Cardio training would do you a world of good.

Year after year, it never fails. I see the droves of people signing up to the fitness club I go to in hopes of shedding a few pounds for their New Years resolutions. Those same people usually stop coming shortly after. It's too bad that these resolutions always have a short term shelf life applied to them when they're made.

For those of us who are serious about improving our health and keeping our weight down, there is the continued diet and exercise routines to look forward to. I love Thanksgiving and Christmas but I hate having to turn my exercise routine up a notch to lose the extra baggage. My cardio routine will be in full gear as it always is.

Why cardio?  Because cardio is the fastest way, other than diet, to burn calories. Whether you run, jog, swim or walk, it all burns calories. The more you do, the more calories you burn.  Plus it's good for the heart and circulation. 

So enjoy the holidays but remember the extra pounds aren't going anywhere unless you do something proactive about it.
