How to Start a Cardio Routine

From the July 2021 Benefits eNews

For anyone who has led a relatively sedentary lifestyle, start a cardio regimen by simply walking around your yard, apartment complex, and/or neighborhood. Start slow and work up from there. Just get outdoors and go for a walk. Start with 10 minutes and work up to 30 minutes per day. Find or create a walking club, walking support group, or a recreation program in your city. For increased intensity, try walking while carrying light, 3- to 5-pound hand weights, which can further enhance the cardiovascular effectiveness of your workout.
