On a microscopic level cardio acts to increase the number of mitochondria within our cells. Mitochondria, tiny as they are, play an enormous role within the body and essentially act as the engine of each cell taking in nutrients and creating energy so that our bodies can function.

As we age the number of these little engines within our cells decline.

Cardio workouts when implemented 4-5 times per week have been proven to reduce the risk of age related conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and stroke while improving lean muscle mass, metabolism and weight management.

So with all these amazing lifelong benefits for only 26 minutes of daily commitment what are you waiting for?
