Examples
* Gardening
* Walking
* Tai Chi
* Yoga
Long-Continous Cardio
When doing continuous cardio exercise, aim to work at an intensity that challenges you but doesn’t make you so tired that you can’t maintain a conversation.
Examples
* Running
* Swimming
* Rowing
* Skipping
High-Intensity Interval Training
Alternate a work set of 30 to 60 seconds with a rest period of 30 seconds to two minutes. This type of exercise is more strenuous on your body so you should only incorporate it into your program if you already work out regularly.
