Cardio & endurance

There’s more than one way to raise your heart rate. From running to rowing, hiking to biking — progression unites the cardio community.

Cardio is an important part of every exerciser’s routine – by working out your heart and your lungs, you tune your body’s engine to breathe and pump blood more efficiently, which leads to improved overall health in the long term.

To help you go further, faster, for longer, and then recover for the next session, there are a whole host of supplements to support.

Get expert guidance on strategies for your activity like HIIT, LISS, and heart rate zones, and learn about all the supplements developed to support your goals.

Running

Running is one of the most accessible forms of cardio out there, and luckily a pair of supportive trainers and your body are all you need to get started.

Here are a few helpful tips to get you off on the right foot.

Be realistic
It can be easy to be over ambitious or expect more from yourself on your first run than what’s realistic. Go into your first one with no expectations other than to enjoy it.
Stretch
Stretching is a crucial part of any exercise routine, as it boosts flexibility to keep your joints moving freely and helps prevent injuries.
Set mini goals
Setting mini goals is a great way to measure your progress and give yourself regular boosts of confidence with every mini goal you hit.
Eat right
Because running takes up a lot of energy, it’s important to make sure you’re getting enough carbs in your diet. Something like oatmeal or peanut butter on toast is a great breakfast to set you up for a good run.

Find your cardio

There are plenty of exercises and activities that can raise your heart rate. 

The key is finding something you can enjoy. And stick to, too.

HIIT
Quick bursts of intense cardio are ideal for those of us who really can’t stand running. It can keep your mind more engaged with all the different exercises in a circuit and works the whole body too.
Cycling
Whether you’re out in the open air on a real bike or pedalling in the gym or at home, challenge yourself to new distances and push beyond your comfort zone.
Boxing
One of the most underrated cardio workouts. It’s a full-body workout that burns loads of calories and helps you build strength and muscle.
Skipping rope
We get that the gym isn’t for everyone, so if you’re looking for an easy workout that’ll get your heart racing, then skipping might be for you.

Why is nutrition important?

Nutrition is what fuels your body for exercise and helps you recover.

Cardiovascular exercise will greatly increase your daily energy expenditure, or the amount of energy you use per day. And through your diet, you should match your energy intake (calories) according to your goals.

It’s also important to consider where those calories come from. For most people that do regular cardio exercise, carbohydrates should make up most of their diet. Carbohydrates help to fuel working muscles, as they provide energy and are your main source during endurance exercise. They help maintain glycogen levels, delaying fatigue and supporting endurance, ensuring you can go the distance.

Protein also plays a big part. It’s well researched that eating or drinking protein after exercise enhances performance for endurance activities, as it helps to repair any muscle fibres that might’ve been damaged through exercise.
