Cardio workout strategy's and workout tip

Along with a good solid weight training program, Perform Cardio For A Minimum Of 20 Minutes And A Maxiumum Of 45 Minutes.
More is not better when it comes to cardio. Most of you will benefit from 3 sessions of 20-30 minutes. Never go above 45 minutes at a time when doing cardio as after 45 minutes the catabolic hormone cortisol will increase and you will risk losing muscle tissue and protecting fat!, Only competitive bodybuilders may find themselves doing as much as 45 minutes twice a day before a show but that amount is kept for very short periods of time. For the less advanced walking can be substituted for jogging and running.
