The Importance of Cardio Workouts for Men You see it at the gym every day. Guys are sweating it out, pumping the iron for all they are worth. Muscles are massive and biceps are bulging. But what about the most important muscle in your body – the heart muscle? Weight lifting isn’t going to do much to keep your ticker in shape, and it won’t be enough to keep your weight in check and that beer belly at bay. The best road to fitness is generally an exercise program that combines a few strength training sessions every week with a daily dose of cardio. It’s time to get savvy to what cardio training is all about.
	Effective cardiovascular exercise will raise your heartbeat to 50-100% of your maximum heart rate potential. For those who have been living a fairly sedentary lifestyle, the number of beats should be lower, but for the bold and rugged who have been working out for some time, the number can be much higher. While there are precise formulas that you can use to ensure that your heart is working exactly as hard as it should be, most of us will go by the simpler method of evaluating our physical state during a workout. This means that if your body temperature is up, the sweat is starting to appear and your breathing is increasing, you are probably in a good aerobic zone.
