If you’re thinking about starting a cardio program, you’re already on the right track towards better health and remember, a little can go a long way. Start with just 10 minutes a day if that is all you can handle, and increase that over time as you build your stamina. It’s good to find a middle ground where you are working hard enough to see results without pushing yourself beyond healthy limits.

Exercising three to five days per week for 15-60 minutes at 60-90% maximum heart rate allows your body to access its aerobic system. The aerobic system uses oxygen to convert carbohydrates into energy from various sources throughout the body.

All of these moves can be performed at low to medium intensity. Try for a minimum of five reps for each.
