Health: Fitness first
The skinny on cardio Last week I promised to start out this series by explaining each of the four ‘pieces’ of a balanced life—cardiovascular, diet, flexibility and strength. I have decided to focus on cardio first because, if done properly, cardio is the centre of a healthy life. Cardiovascular fitness is a fancy term for physical activity. This includes everything from walking, running, swimming and gym tonic to sports that include repetitive movement (table tennis and poker players…you’re out of luck).
