While we might have the best of intentions, this doesn’t mean that these intentions translate to action. Here are a number of suggestions to to improve your cardiovascular workout so that you can increase your glucose metabolism, lower your heart rate, blood pressure and cholesterol.

Do your cardio workout either on an empty stomach, ar 21/2 hours after a meal. This will ensure that your blood glucose levels are not so high that you are only burning carbs during your workout.

More isn’t always better when it comes to cardiovascular exercise. Limit your exercise to between 20 and 45 minutes. After 45 minutes the catabolic hormone cortisol will increase and you’ll risk losing muscle tissue.

Sometimes, you may find certain products can also enhance your workout. Companies like Mannatech, GNC, BioGenetix and many others have nutrition shakes, vitamins, supplements and more that can help to boost your metabolism, add energy for your workout, and enhance your exercise experience.
