Cardio Exercises Help You Lose Weight

If you are aiming to lose your extra pounds then you should know that cutting down on your calorie intake and burning more calories through exercise are the only way to success. Losing weight is not an easy task; you need to burn more calories than you take in and for a cardio exercise. You should workout for 45 minutes for 5-6 days a week. A beginner will burn 4 to 5 calories per minute while if you're fit you'll lose 10-12 calories per minute. There are two types of cardio exercises; the slow cardio exercises and the high intensity cardio exercises. Both effectively help in burning calories.

The slow cardio exercises are of low intensity; burning your fat calories and not carbs and they should be performed for 45-60 minutes. Some of these slow pace exercises which burn most calories in 30 minutes are:
