The pros of cardio training

> Make you lose weight: when the available glucose is exhausted (after about 30 or 40 minutes of physical activity, according to the people), to provide the energy necessary to stress the body draws on its fat reserves. Regularly practicing this activity (2 or 3 times a week for at least 45 minutes) you will gradually streamline.
> Tones the muscles: especially the muscles of the legs, working in any case, but also those in the arms, abdominals and back muscles through the rowing machine and elliptical bike.
> Does not suffer the joints: on the exercise bike and rowing machine you sit and then the legs should not support the weight of the trunk. On the stepper and elliptical bike the weight is distributed on both legs. To vary the gestures you can also change gear during the same workout.
> Is an activity open to all, beginners or long-time sports: taking advantage of different levels of difficulty proposed by the tools you can make a progressive effort.
The cons of cardio training
> Boredom: running or rowing remaining stationary is dull! Unlike when it happens for endurance sports practiced outdoor (jogging, cycling, walking towards it ...), in the gym the landscape does not change.

> Distraiti: time passes more quickly if you put a song or a television in the background.
> Please heating: most of the tools offers a warming up, otherwise do some movement on the ground before you begin.
