Remember the cardio! On any given day at the gym, I notice that the bodybuilding areas are busier than the cardio sections. I get it; cardio fitness takes much more effort than lifting weights. When lifting weights, at best, your heart rate never gets higher than 110 BPM, and that’s just while you’re lifting your sets. This is why it is essential to incorporate cardio as part of your bodybuilding workout. I understand some of us want to get stronger and bigger regarding the size of our muscular physique. So when you incorporate cardio into your workouts, you’ll burn the fat that’s robbing you of your muscle tone. Leaning down is the key to a more prominent muscular physique. More importantly, you will not only improve your muscle tone and physique, but you will also improve the most significant muscle in your body. I’m talking about our hearts. Your heart’s health is the key to it all. Please make no mistake that over time, as we age, our physical appearance will change. The youth of beauty fades, but the health of our most crucial muscle, the heart, is vital to keeping us all living stronger and healthier lives. Keep your heart healthy and robust with cardio fitness.
