Cardio (Jogging)

Now that I have talked about getting upper body muscles lets talk about cardio. Cardio is very important because it helps you lose weight or maintain a figure. Also it helps you be more athletic. I do a lot of cardio as a wrestler. What I do for cardio is first i stretch because i do not want to pull a muscle or cramp up. Eat a lot of potassium to help with cramps (found in bananas). After i stretch I will do a light jog around the track to get my blood flowing and the muscles going. After the light jog what you want to do is take a short break and maybe stretch again if you feel its necessary. This time run a mile with a regular jog but try to keep a consistent pace the entire jog. If you can not do a mile do half a mile and progress up. But try to push yourself! Jogging will help your endurance in athletics. For example it helps soccer players last 90 min matches without dying. After the mile you jogged you will want to do another light jog and finish it off by stretching. The mile is just for starters so if you jog a lot you may want to do more but dont forget your warmup jog/stretch and your cooldown jog/stretch and potassium.
