Cardio exercises are activities that increase your heart rate, improve circulation, and strengthen the cardiovascular system.
Any activity that raises your heart rate for a sustained period—such as walking, cycling, jogging, swimming, or aerobic workouts—counts as cardio. The key is continuous movement that challenges your heart and lungs.
Most people benefit from 150 minutes of moderate‑intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous‑intensity cardio per week. This can be spread across several short sessions to fit your schedule
Explore specific conditions and related treatments.
Functional cardio involves dynamic, full‑body movements that elevate the heart rate while mimicking real‑life activities. These exercises improve cardiovascular fitness, coordination, strength, and mobility all at once.
Cardio interval training involves alternating periods of higher‑intensity effort with periods of lower‑intensity recovery. This style of training challenges the heart and lungs, boosts calorie burn, and improves endurance more efficiently than steady‑state cardio.
Aerobic conditioning focuses on steady, rhythmic activities that improve the body’s ability to use oxygen efficiently. These exercises strengthen the heart and lungs, boost endurance, and support overall cardiovascular health.
High‑intensity cardio involves short bursts of vigorous activity that significantly elevate the heart rate, followed by brief recovery periods. This style of training boosts cardiovascular fitness, burns calories efficiently, and improves overall endurance in less time than traditional steady‑state cardio
Moderate‑intensity cardio involves steady, continuous movement that raises your heart rate while still allowing you to maintain a conversation. These exercises improve cardiovascular health, boost stamina, and support weight management without placing excessive stress on the body
Low‑intensity cardio involves gentle, steady movements that slightly elevate the heart rate while keeping the body comfortable and relaxed. These exercises are easy on the joints, support circulation, and help build a foundation for overall fitness.
