Question by : What cardio exercises can I do in a gym that do not shrink my butt?
I love my butt and my hips. I have been running as a source of cardio but am noticing that my butt is shrinking and tightening. I know this will happen to an extent because that is the result of exercise, however, are there any cardio exercises that will not be so detrimental?

Answer by William See
15 minutes with quite fast pacing speed. You don’t need to worry whether the size of your pecs will reduce or not. for jogging for 15 minutes only will not make it smaller. Unless you do it by interval

Answer by Annabelle
3-4 days a week, do low impact high intensity cardio (interval training) for about 10-15mins, thats all you need, do them after your weight lifting shedule, although not every day, you need rest day in-between.
Stationary cycling, skipping or jogging/running is very good
Work-out fast/solid for 1-2mins then slow down for 1 min, then repeat going fast for 1-2 mins, then slow down for 1 min etc…..
Diet is 75% of your weight loss success, so eat good food, no processed foods such as fried, packaged, take-aways, cakes biscuits, pastries etc….

There a couple different approaches in doing cardio to burn body fat. Some people recommend you do “low intensity” cardio for long stretches at a time to burn body fat. The thought process is that you need to train at a moderate intensity to get your heart rate to the target zone to burn body fat. It has been argued that if you get your heart rate too high, you will begin to burn carbohydrates instead of body fat. Some people argue that high intensity cardio will allow you to burn more total calories in your cardio workout. Creating a “calorie deficit”, by burning more calories than what you take in, is another great way to lose body fat. Let’s compare the two different approaches in detail.
This is the cardio workout that is currently being pushed by the mainstream. This cardio workout is often used due to the great results it gets. Low intensity cardio is very effective at targetting body fat for energy instead of just burning calories in the body. If the body burns fat for energy, you will lose body fat. It just makes sense. Most of the cardio equipment these days comes with a heart rate display. This is the best way to make sure that you reach the correct intensity level to burn body fat. In about 10 minutes of low intensity cardio, you will reach your target heart rate. It is suggested to stay within that zone for at least 30 minutes for good results.
]]>
This form of cardio is used much less than low intensity cardio. Training at a high intensity level can be tough, since you have to push yourself pretty hard. This cardio method gets great results as well. High intensity cardio will burn a lot more calories than low intensity versions, since it gets your heart rate to a much higher level. The calories burned are a mix of fat calories along with carbohydrate calories stored in the body. The idea behind focusing on burning calories in your workout is to burn more calories than what you consume each day. Creating a calorie deficit, by burning more calories than what you eat, will allow you to lose body fat.
Once you get your heart rate up to the correct level, the low intensity cardio workout will burn body fat. The problem lies in the fact that it can take anywhere between 5-10 minutes to get your heart rate to the optimum level to burn body fat. The first 5-10 minutes of low intensity cardio aren’t very productive at burning body fat. Working at a high intensity is tough to maintain for long periods, even though it is effective at burning calories. Working at an intense level for over 10-15 minutes is extremely difficult.
If planned strategically, you will benefit from doing both high intensity and low intensity cardio in the same workout. If you replace that “unproductive” first 10 minutes of the low intensity cardio with high intensity cardio, you will get better results when you hit the low intensity cardio after that. Find a treadmill or exercise bike and set it at a high level. Push yourself really hard for 10-15 minutes. After working your heart rate up with high intensity cardio and burning a bunch of calories for 10-15 minutes…switch to low intensity cardio and keep it there for another 20-30 minutes. This will burn calories and create a calorie deficit as well as burning body fat during the workout. I keep my body fat around 8% year round training in this manner.

One important aspect of fat loss that you cannot ignore is cardio training. By cardio training, I don’t just simply mean, hope on a bike or treadmill and crank out hours of low intensity, boring cardio sessions. That’s an absolute waste of time. In this article, I’m going to show you the most effective cardio training method that will turn your body into a fat burning furnace.
Everyone knows that activity burns calories, and this is why so many people spend hours and hours on a cardio machine. While they have the right idea that cardio training helps burn calories, they’re going about it in the wrong way by doing low intensity, long duration cardio sessions. You probably see many people who spend hours on a cardio machine; however, they still find themselves in similar shape with little to no progress to show for their hard work.
So what are they doing wrong?
]]>
There are two main points when it comes to effective cardio training sessions: 1) timing of the cardio session, and 2) intensity and duration of the cardio session. So, let’s talk a bit about these two key points.
Why do cardio first thing in the morning?
The reason is simply, you get the most effective fat burning cardio sessions first thing in the morning. This is the most optimal time to do cardio because during the previous night, your body has gone through a 8 to 10 hour fast, and because of this your glycogen stores are low. By doing cardio first thing in the morning, your already low glycogen stores gets used up quickly, and fat is then mobilized as the source of energy.
If long duration, low intensity cardio sessions are ineffective, then what works?
Shorter duration, but ultra high intensity, and interval based cardio workouts are the answer. Sure, by doing long cardio sessions, you burn more total calories during the workout as compared to a short duration cardio session. However, by doing shorter duration cardio sessions at ultra high intensity, you crank up your metabolism that will burn more calories long after your cardio session has ended.
A good intense 20 to 30 minute cardio session is all you really need. The key is high intensity, and you can achieve this with intervals – slower paced periods mixed up with periods of high intensity. For example, 2 minutes of moderate pace cardio followed by 30 seconds to 1 minutes of peak intensity cardio, and so on.
For best fat loss results, do high intensity cardio first thing in the morning. Combine this with an effective weight loss program, you will see results guranteed.

Initially, let’s identify the two. Low intensity cardio workouts are those that elevate the heart rate by about 50%. High intensity cardio workouts are those that are intended to boost the heart speed by about 75%. We will look at measuring heart rate a little later, but each of the cardio workouts hold their place, depending on who is doing the cardio workout.
For fat loss, high intensity cardio workouts are absolutely the best. These intensive workouts burns about 14 calories for every minute, or quite a bit more fat than low intensity cardio workouts (roughly seven per minute), and have been found to have the added benefit of burning calories hours after the cardio workouts have been completed. If you do not have much time to spend in the gym, high intensity cardio workouts is where your training should lie. Low intensity cardio workouts burn less calories, so to achieve equivalent benefits you will have to exercise for longer periods of time. That said, high intensity cardio workouts are not for everyone. Folks just starting cardio workouts, people with certain health problems, and people getting up in the years, especially if they aren’t in great physical shape, shouldn’t try high intensity cardio workouts until they can physically deal with them.
So if heart rate is the determining factor in high intensity cardio workouts, how should that be determined? The formula we use for getting to the target heart rate zone, or where the heart speed should be maintained during one of your high intensity cardio workouts. First, deduct your age from the number 220, or for women 226. If you are a 40 year old male, that will be 180. For the lower end of the target heart rate zone, multiply by 0.6. For our case, the low end of the target heart rate zone would be 108. For the high end, multiply the 180 figure by 0.9 to arrive at a heart rate of 162. A more precise approach to determining these numbers for cardio workouts is the Karvonen Formula, which will require you to enter your resting heart rate.
For those that want to stay in the low intensity cardio workouts, you will want to stay inside the 50% range of maximum heart rate. Besides those individuals stated above, these are good to use as warm up for all those about to embark on their higher intensity workouts. Apart from the span of time necessary in these cardio workouts, they offer the benefits of helping to reduce blood pressure and cholesterol and have less injury threat. But in addition, they still burn fat, as 85% of the calories burned in this zone are fats.
We trust this gives you some insight into the benefits and downsides of low intensity cardio workouts verses high intensity cardio workouts. Obviously, if you are physically capable, it is best to work in the high intensity workouts zone. If you can, bear in mind to keep your workouts brief (20 to 30 minutes) and approximately three to four times a week should do the trick.
Our goal is to inform those people who are trying to lose weight on comprehensive, realistic programs for weight loss. We are definitely not into quick-fixes, but programs that involve proper diet, cardio work, and muscle tone. Rich Carroll is a writer and health advocate now living in London.

Jumping jacks might get kind of boring, not to mention tough on your joints. What about exercise DVDs/videos? Or running stairs if you live in an apartment?

Wilmington, DE (PRWEB) September 06, 2011
According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), every 25 seconds an American has a coronary event, and every 60 seconds someone in this country dies of heart disease ?making it America?s number one killer. CardioChoices.com, a new website dedicated to increasing awareness of cardiovascular disease, offers clear educational videos and information that patients and their caregivers can use to learn about their condition and the medical procedures they will go through.
?CardioChoices was developed to educate heart patients on heart problems such as: heart disease, heart attacks, heart failure, atrial fibrillation and arrhythmias,? said Jim Kotwis, co-founder of CardioChoices.com. ?Our custom videos are designed to make heart-related conditions and procedures easier to understand, so that patients can have open and informed discussions with their cardiologists regarding heart disease.?
The videos were developed by a medical illustrator and two cardiologists who sit on CardioChoices? medical advisory board: David Frazier, MD of Heart Rhythm Associates, PLLC in Greenville, NC and Srinivas Koneru, MD, Director of Interventional Cardiology at St. John Macomb Hospital in Warren, Michigan.
?Learning about cardiovascular procedures and treatments before there is a problem can also lead to better heart health and wellness,? says Kotwis. ?There is no better medicine than preventative medicine.?
Kotwis believes that CardioChoices.com is a superior choice for patient education because its clear focus on cardiology is easier to understand and doesn?t overwhelm people like other sites that try to cover every type of medical issue. In the future, Kotwis is planning to launch a new site that will focus on cancer, and another that will focus on orthopedic, neuro-vascular and spinal disorders.
For more information about CardoChoices.com, please call (860) 338-1782.
About CardioChoices.com
CardioChoices.com is an online resource for heart disease that people can access to learn about heart conditions such as atrial fibrillation, heart attacks, heart failure, ventricular tachycardia and arrhythmia. Information is also provided regarding heart implant procedures including heart stents, implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD), pacemakers, heart failure devices, and coronary artery bypass grafts (CABG).
