OVERVIEW OF CARDIO TRAINING

Regular cardio training stimulates the cardiovascular (heart and blood vessels) and respiratory system. It improves your general health and helps you to burn fat. It is the recommended workout if you want to lose weight. When exercising, glucose is burned off first, then the fat stored in the body. Intensive cardio training (e.g. circuit training, training with high resistance and long-duration training) requires a greater amount of effort and also trains the muscular system and your endurance. As a rule, the more regular you train, the more effective the training is (even with short training sessions of 20 minutes).

During the Training
The level of resistance used during the workout determines the training intensity and the associated results. An optimal training session includes (1) a warm-up phase, (2) an intensive cardio training phase, and finally (3) a cool-down phase. If you want to progress or burn calories, you should go through these 3 phases as well as exercise for at least 20-30 minutes on the ergometer.

Warm-up Phase
Always start your training session with a low resistance level. A warm-up phase of 5-10 minutes is important because your muscles need to be warmed up. During the warm-up phase, you should give your circulatory system and muscles time to prepare for the subsequent workout. As a beginner, you can train for the first 3 minutes at the easiest level and then gradually increase the level to where you feel most comfortable.

Cardio Training Phase
After about 10 minutes, you can then begin the cardio training phase. When using the interval training program, the computer controls the resistance depending on the type of interval chosen and thus simulates changing intensities. The cardio training phase is considered aerobic or anaerobic training depending on the energy expenditure. These two types of training are defined as follows:

Aerobic Training Zone
While you are in this zone, you are improving your cardiovascular system and burning fat. Despite an increased heart rate, deeper breathing and light sweating, the body is not in a very stressed state, breathing is not significantly accelerated—you could still talk to someone without going out of breath—and you feel that you could sustain the physical exertion for a long time. It‘s similar to when you briskly walk uphill. The muscles and heart work more intensely than when the body is at rest and can get most of their energy needs met via aerobic energy production, which utilizes oxygen to facilitate energy production. At the same time, the anaerobic production of energy is also active, but only to a small extent. The lactic acid produced in this process can be broken down to produce energy. Most of your training should be aerobic training. If you continue to increase the intensity, you will eventually come to the threshold where aerobic energy production is no longer able to increase its output. At this point, there is a shift towards anaerobic energy production being used to a greater extent. You are now doing anaerobic training.

Anaerobic Training
When in this zone, you are improving your performance and speed. When you increase the intensity while in this zone, the training becomes much more strenuous because of the rising lactate level in the body; you start sweating more; your breathing gets faster; and after some time depending on your fitness level, your muscles tire and you feel totally exhausted and that you can no longer continue at this level of intensity.

Cool-down Phase

At the end of the cardio training phase, you begin the cool-down phase, which should last for at least 5 minutes. Here, you use low levels of resistance. The recovery or cool-down phase is also helpful with regard to preventing possible muscle soreness. It is also advisable to do active recuperation after an intensive training session, such as a hot bath, a sauna session or a massage.

Training Progress
Each month you can make the training more challenging by extending the duration of the cardio training phase, by using a higher level of resistance within that phase or by doing a more demanding interval training.

Eating and Drinking

• Drink before, during and after training.
• Drink at least 2 sips of water (10 to 20 cl) every 10-15 minutes during a training session.
• If your workout lasts for more than 1 hour, you should drink a sports drink to protect the body from dehydration while training.
• For optimal cardio training, suitable nutrition before and after any physical activity is very important.

Before training, it is best to eat carbohydrates, such as those found in rice and pasta, as they provide the body with an important source of energy.
After training, you need to refuel with proteins, such as those found in eggs, yogurt and dried fruits. Even if you want to lose weight, it is necessary to eat after training for your body to recuperate.

WARMING UP BEFORE A WORKOUT

Perform the movements before each workout to mobilize your joints and activate your muscles. Should a movement be uncomfortable or painful, skip this movement and consult your doctor or fitness instructor about suitable warm-up movements. Each movement should be repeated (right and left) so that you can start the cardio training relaxed.

Take about 5 minutes to do the following CapitalSports training routine:

1. Nod the head slowly, then alternating turn the head to look to the right to left. Then mobilize the shoulders by making a circular motion with them.
2. Turn the hips while the arms are stretched. The feet are not firmly fixed to the ground; the ankles follow the body’s rotation.
3. Bend at the hip with one arm stretched upward. Stay in this position for a few seconds on each side.
4. Stand on one leg and hold the instep of the other leg with your hand. While in this position, mobilize your ankle to stretch the thigh slightly. If necessary, hold on to something to keep your balance. Then Stand on one leg and draw a circle in both directions (clockwise and counterclockwise) with the ankle.
5. When squatting, place your feet about shoulder-width apart and lower your hips while keeping your arms straight. Try to also keep your back straight.
6. Sit with your legs bent so that the soles of your feet touch. Slightly flap the knees by moving the knees up and down while keeping the feet on the floor. Hold your ankles and keep your back straight.
7. While seated, stretch forward towards your toes. Try to keep the legs and back straight and reach for the tips of your toes.
