Cardio Workout Question

Well, generally a cardio workout means that the heart, lungs etc...get a good workout right? So, I reckon brisk walking would qualify...so long as you keep it at a good pace and maybe work up a light sweat?

I got this link from the athlete Lance Armstrong's foundation website

There are many benefits to walking...and the more, the faster --> the better!

I think anything that elevates your heart rate is the definition of a cardio workout. Some cardio workouts do more for the body than others but walking would bec onsidered cardio.

If you are walking fast you can get a great cardio workout from it. Or pumping your arms fast. I have a walking DVD I do and it does make your heart pump fast so yes it is cardio.

A stroll in the park will not give you a cardio workout, but if you step it out, and swing your arms as you walk, you'll get everything pumping and have a real cardio workout. It's not about the activity - it's about the amount of effort you put into it, so give it all you've got get yourself slightly out of breath.
