"Pay The Piper" by Bob Osgoodby

Let's face it, most people enjoy cardiovascular exercise as much

as a visit to the their oral surgeon - or - spending the weekend

with their in-laws. Most people's idea of the perfect

cardiovascular exercise program is walking from the bedroom to

the bathroom. If you want to decrease your body fat percentage,

get ripped, and have your waist, legs, and rear end look like a

million dollars, there is no substitution for cardio - but it

doesn't have to be boring and a major chore you hate.

Select cardiovascular exercises that you enjoy doing. If you

hate to run, it is going to be very hard for you to get up every

morning at 6:00 AM and run for 30 minutes. Choose an exercise

that you enjoy doing. Walking, crawling, jogging, running,

bicycling, stairmaster, nordic ski machine, cross trainer,

rowing, swimming, aerobics, trampoline, martial arts, dance,

basketball, soccer, fencing, gymnastics, sex, and mud wrestling

are just a few of the hundreds of exercises that will take your

heart rate and keep it in the fat burning zone for what ever time

is appropriate for your present condition. If you enjoy a

certain activity, you are more likely to do it on a routine

basis. Select exercises that are good for you.

Cardiovascular exercise provides you with a multitude of

benefits. It increases your metabolic rate which burns body fat,

increases blood flow to your brain and major organs, improves

digestion, reduces stress, increases alertness, and boosts your

immune system.

Research supports that getting your cardiovascular exercise out

of the way, first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach is

best for fat burning. Some sources state that you can burn up to

3 times as much fat per hour exercising on an empty stomach.

There are several medical conditions including hypoglycemia which

would be a contraindication from you doing any type of exercise

on an empty stomach. That is why it is imperative that you have

a comprehensive medical examination before starting any
