Cardio

Cardio (from the Greek word ‘kardia’ for ‘heart’) is an aerobic activity that raises the heart rate and requires deeper and faster breathing. This results in more oxygen in the blood and, over time, more efficient production and use of energy. Cardio fitness can help to decrease resting blood pressure and improve good cholesterol levels whilst lowering blood fats. Research has also shown that increased cardio fitness can improve blood flow to the brain, keep joints moving, aid skin health and benefit the lungs.

So, all in all, cardio is the place to be – and it can be a lot of fun! Take a look at our incredible range of cardio machines to help you to achieve your heart health dreams.
