Cardiovascular Fitness
Boost Your Energy and Improve Your Health!

Cardiovascular Fitness is a critical component of vegan fitness if you want to lose weight, boost your energy and feel amazing.

Maybe you are already doing aerobic activities. (Maybe you are just thinking about it.)

Are you doing it right?

Are you doing it at the right intensity?

Are your doing it for the right amount of time?

Which cardio exercise is best?

Cardio, also known as cardiovascular exercise, and aerobic exercise, is defined as the continuous rhythmic movement of large muscles.

Walking, jogging, cycling, stair climbing and swimming are all aerobic exercise examples.

Your Heart Will Love It

Cardio gets your blood pumping and is essential for a healthy heart. Your heart is a muscle, and just like every other muscle in your body, it gets stronger with use.

Here is a reminder why having a healthy heart is important.

If your heart stops, so do you.

Heart disease is the number one cause of death in the United States. Sixty-five percent of Americans are overweight from eating too much and moving too little, and heart disease is the number one cause of death. Coincidence?

Side Effects

Ok, so cardio helps keep your heart healthy. What are some of the other benefits (Side effects)?

• Fat loss

• Your mood improves

• Your energy levels go up, way up

• Your self-esteem increases

• Your overall health and vitality increase

These are just a few of the benefits of aerobic exercise. Not too bad, huh?

Are you ready to move?

How long, how often and how intensely should you do cardio?


Most people, especially women do a lot of cardio when they are trying to lose weight. This is great for burning calories. Unfortunately doing too much cardio and overlooking the 2nd crucial element of vegan fitness,strength training, can slow down your metabolism.
