"Cardio" is short for "cardiovascular." That word relates to your heart and circulatory system. A cardio workout is active exercise that gets your heart rate up and makes you sweat. This is good for several reasons: it strengthens the heart muscle and helps protect you from future heart disease and it burns calories, if done correctly, to help you lose weight.

Cardio is the best thing to lose fat . . . try cutting out calories from your diet too, basic stuff is the best. If you want some guidance, go to www.sparkpeople.com, it's like ediets.com except free. I lost some weight by becoming a vegetarian (like 15 lbs.)\n\nGood luck!!!

Cardio workout are really good. Buy a video, and some weights (5 pound or so, however is more appealing to you), and try it. The video tells you how many calories and how much strength you are getting based on how long you do it. It is fast and easy. For your calves, running is a good exercise. I am fit and I have tried this. It works.

It depends what you do at the gym.  Tennis is awesome aerobic exercise that burns lots of calories - more so than weight training, generally speaking.  It is also better than treadmill and bikes...

Exercise is great but great nutrition is the key to any weight loss routine. I lost 35 pounds in two months and I gained the energy to exercise.

I have to say, I'm not sure what you're talking about, the way this is written!  If you're losing, it's because you're doing some cardio, which will burn away fat.  If you want to keep "your bubble" go for some walks, do some lunges, you can find these online when you go to "toning the legs and butt" they will show pics to show you how to do them, as the alignment is really important and it's easy to do them wrong.  There are many ways to tone, so look up some good sites, they're easy to find.

What kind of exercises are you doing? --  what are you eating?\n\nSome exercises are better for weight loss than others, some exercises are good to tune the heart and circulatory system, but do not do much for weight loss.  Check if the exercises you are doing are consistent with your goal.\n\nIt may not be the volume of food that you are eating, but how many calories, how much fat, etc. in what you are eating?  You could be eating less in volume, but taking in more sugars and fats.  Check if your diet is consistent with your goal.

masturbating doesnt burn alot, but sex burns alot of calories !!!! So if you have sex a few times a week for at least 30-45 mins then yeah that could be considered a cardio work out.. I've lost weight from doing it 4 times a week for half hour each time.. :)

Of course. Always stretch your body before working out. Before and after. \n\n5 minutes warm up and 5 minutes cool down is fine on a 30 minute cardio. \n\nCardio works much better for weight loss if you are doing a good 45 minutes tho. Try to go for 45.

Okay I'll be honest. I used to play DDR in high school, it was kind of the cool thing to do. I played it for fun and was completely unaware of it's weight loss benefits. I was eating burritos and chimichangas at school everyday and for some reason I was only 104 lbs at 5'2".  Then I stopped playing DDR and didn't understand why I started gaining weight because I hate to exercise also. Now I know why I gained all the weight.\n\nSo by all means, DDR is a great cardio exercise. If you like it, even better!

Eating healthy, consistent exercise and lots of water is the right way to start and are important for a healthy lifestyle but they won't necessarily cause you to lose weight.\n\nTo use exercise to lose weight:\nYour cardio exercise should have your heart rate at a minimum of 80% of maximum which is generally 220 - age\nand maintain that for over 20 minutes. At 20 minutes, your blood glucose level is depleted and your muscles start to burn fat so every minute beyond 20 minutes you are directly burning fat. If you increase your muscle mass, it does increase your weight since muscle is denser than fat but you burn more calories even when you are resting when you have more muscle. \n\nThe last five-ten pounds will not come off so easily however short of starting a fitness plan that has you training for a marathon (running so much that it matters less about much you eat though what you eat will affect performance).

Running in the park & treadmill work best for me, along with a sensible diet. More vegetables than meat, along with lots of salids. we need the protein also, but watch fatty cuts. Swimming is also good if you can do several laps. I like to work my legs good. can burn caloties & help with the running. Any good work out that brings on the sweat will burn calories and that is really the name of the game. For me, counting all calories has been the best weight loss diet of all. Got to see yourself thin. Diet or workouts by themselves alone never work. It takes both in equal effort.

It's just where you happen to gain your weight. Everyone's different, but the solution (diet and cardio) is the same. You might think about trying this book called "The Movie Star Diet" by Steve Simmons. It helped me lose thirty pounds in 2 1/2 months when I didn't think anything would work. My goal to begin with was only 20 lbs! It has a really easy plan to follow and an excellent workout as well.

Ideally a combination of healthy eating, weight lifting, and cardio activity will work the best to help you quickly and safely lose weight.  When it comes to cardio, the activity you enjoy will be the most effective in the long run.  However, you do have to be realistic about what each activity can do for you.  Unless you are a very strong swimmer, you aren't going to burn many calories swimming.  It is a good workout for your whole body, but it doesn't burn as many calories as some other activities.  Running burns a lot of calories, but can be tough on the knees.  I'm not a roller blader so I am unsure of the intensity of that workout.  Try some different things and see what you feel most comfortable with.  Running may burn the most calories, but if you hate it and neglect to run, it won't do you much good.  Try switching it up and do multiple activities to keep from getting bored.\n\nKeep in mind that just doing cardio won't help you in the long run.  You really need to eat healthily, and eat enough to sustain your activities.  Lifting weights will help you build muscle (and that doesn't mean become muscular and bulky) which will in turn burn more calories while you are performing all other activies.
