When choosing a cardio exercise, it is important to start slowly and gradually increase the intensity and duration of your workouts over time. You should also listen to your body and take breaks when needed.

If you are new to cardio or have any health concerns, be sure to talk to your doctor before starting a new exercise program.

Here are some tips for getting the most out of your cardio workouts:
