Benefits of Cardio Training

There's no doubt that the cardio benefit of running is something that should be mentioned. Although it's not the motivation behind why I run, it's certainly a factor that is very comforting to know. While I'm out enjoying the sunshine (or the rain, let's face it) I am getting a solid cardio workout that is important for my body in numerous ways.

Apart from keeping weight off, something that I am fortunate enough never to have had to worry about, running gives you energy even as it is taking it away. It's an interesting paradox because although you feel exhausted at the end of a run, your body is building itself up to be stronger next time so that it can cope. That's if you give your body the necessary rest to do so.

The result of regular cardio exercise is a healthier, fitter and more disease resistant body.
