Benefits of Cardiovascular Training
Cardiovascular training is considered the most important and effective form of exercise due to its overall health benefits. Even general non-equipment cardio such as walking, running and swimming ultimately allows you to live longer and healthier.

Your cardio training relies on how well your body is able to use oxygen during your workout and the capacity of your lungs.
