I have read so many debates as to what is the best type of exercise to lose weight. For me it is a simple answer because I have found what works for me. Maybe this will help you discover your “zone” in your quest for a workout.

I have discovered that when I do interval cardiovascular training it is easier for me to drop some weight on a weekly basis. (I say weekly instead of daily because that is a more accurate tracking system.) What I mean by interval cardiovascular training is that I do not just work my heart rate to a certain point and meander through the time alloted. What the desired objective is to first warm up and then ramp up the heart rate for a about two minutes and then allow recovery time. You do not stop, you just slow down and allow yourself to catch your breath. Then after a few minutes you do it again and repeat this process over and over until you have completed your alloted time of exercise.

I find that what works for me is to take my MP3 player and listen to music that fits the format of faster and slower. I love to listen to music and it also helps my mood. I sometimes show up with no desire to even move and then after awhile I am all sweaty and wondering why I even debated on not going to the health center. The music that I chose to record really helps to satisfy my mind while the sweating is in progress.

In closing I just want to advise that what I wrote works great for me. If you want to try it then great, good for you and I hope you the best. What I have learned is that I cannot just take someone else’s ideas and go to the gym and make it work for me. You can read about it and talk about it all you want. Unless you get up, get out and start moving it is all just theory. You know you need to get up and you know you need to get moving, you just need to get started. If you struggle to get out then you are not alone. I can promise you this though….if you do get out and get moving you will feel better about yourself, your life, your marriage, your work life, your self esteem and so much more.

Cardiovascular exercise is great as long as you just do it! Save the debate for which is better for later when you are in good shape.
