Cardio

What is cardio?

Any exercise that raises your heart rate for some time whilst leaving you with enough breath to talk is known as a cardiovascular workout. Doing your cardio training at Fitness First away from the sun and rain of the outdoors means you can achieve conditioning from a range of different activities in a short period of time.

Here's how you can get your heart pumping at Fitness First:

• Walking and Running - treadmill
• Swimming - indoor pool
• Cycling - spin bikes
• Rowing - rowing machines

The best part of cardio exercise at Fitness First is that you can do it in front of the TV.
