Does cardio makes you sweat and burns calories?  Yes, of course.  But my point to make here today is your participation in a daily or weekly cardio routine for months and months, years and years will have a tremendous impact on your cardiovascular strength. What is cardiovascular strength?  Cardio means heart.  And vascular is a definition for arteries and veins.

Your heart beats on average, 100,000 times per day.  Your heart is a muscle.  It contracts and relaxes just like any other muscle in your body.  To pump blood through your arteries and veins from your chest all the way to the tips of your fingers and toes, your heart has to do some tough work!
