The Cardio Healthy Lifestyle requires besides of Cardio Fusion Diet

essentially Daily Workouts

 

1.     Weight control

Eat less or exercise more frequently and more vigorously for staying on your target weight.

2.     Exercise level

Start with three times a week and increase slowly frequency and exercise levels (weights, speed or load) until your heart rate stabilizes and you are lightly sweeting. It may take ½ to 1 year to work yourself up to a sustainable level of daily exercises. Under such conditions, the workout makes you feel good and refreshed instead of exhausted and miserable.

3.     Essential Orthopedic Support

It seems essential to consult with an experienced Physical Therapist on your orthopedic support needs before putting regularly stress on your body. Even small unrecognized needs will cumulatively rise to a level that may produce serious damage to joints, tendons and muscles.

- Correction of posture and gait,

- Corrective measures for biomechanical abnormalities
