HELLO MY LOVES! 👋

I LOVE YOU ALL ❤️

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 😀

Have you ever heard of the word “cardio”?

Cardio is short for Cardiovascular

Here is the definition as defined by Merriam-Webster

1 of 2

adjective

car·​dio ˈkär-dē-(ˌ)ō 

: CARDIOVASCULAR sense 2

cardio exercises

cardio2 of 2

noun

30 minutes of cardio daily

Do you enjoy running for fun? I am not a huge fan of running but I do enjoy a good cardio session. My favorite way of getting in some cardiovascular exercise is through a Hot Vinyasa Yoga class. I get my body moving and with the combination of heat and movement my heart rate gets going pretty quickly. I was never the best runner when I was in the Army (however I never failed a Physical Training test 😉) even though every time I was done with our run I felt great.

There was a slogan that promoted healthy movement during the Obama administration (President Barack Obama) by his wife and First Lady Michelle Obama called “Let’s Move”. Essentially it encouraged kids to have fun playing while at the same time getting the body moving for a period of time long enough for the heart to be doing “cardiovascular” training.

Sometimes you can play so hard that you are doing cardio without the intention but doing this consistently is the way you improve and maintain a healthy heart.

I am currently doing my research on a new pair of running shoes in order to get back into better “shape”. Every time I passed my physical training test in the Army I always had a belly but I know from Yoga that when my body composition didn’t get in the way of the workout it led to better results.

I am and have been working on improving my health. There are many things we can do but if there is a way to have fun while we do it then in my opinion, it is a good idea to include those activities as often as you can instead of something that doesn’t improve you.

I love you more than you will ever know and that is one of the reasons I want to be in better shape.

Have a GREAT day! 🥰

I LOVE YOU ALL ❤️
