What is cardiovascular fitness?

It is the most important component of physical fitness. It includes the efficient operation of both the heart and lungs ‘the more active you are, the more invigorated you will feel’. In addition to exercise increasing your energy levels, exercising also reduces your chances of developing cardiovascular disease.

Frequency of exercise

You should try to exercise as often as possible but at least 3 times a week.

Duration of exercise

Try to do at least 20 minutes or more. Of course, the longer you go, the more calories and fat you’ll ‘burn’.

Warming and stretching

Essential for preparing your body for exercise. Start at a low intensity to allow your muscles to warm up and your heart to gradually increase. After exercise, always make sure you stretch the muscles you have been exercising.
