So What Sort Of Cardio Exercise Should I Do?

This is the fun part – almost anything provided it is safe

and follows the criteria for raising your heart rate. I like
to mix it up, one day alternating fast walking with jogging

outlined below.

Of course, there are times when this is not possible due to

constraints of work or family, for example, and this is
where keeping it simple will also keep you on track.
