Just about anything is acceptable as long as it involves a movement that gets your heart rate into your Target Heart Rate Zone. Remember:
- There is no 'best' cardio exercise. Anything that gets your heart rate up fits the bill
- It's not what you do, but how hard you work. Any exercise can be challenging if you make it that way
- Do something you enjoy. If you hate gym workouts, don't force yourself onto a treadmill. If you like socializing, consider team sports or a walking club.
- Do something you can see yourself doing at least 3 days a week.
- Be flexible. You don't have to do the same thing all the time--it's boring and will lead to weight loss plateaus as well. Feel free to turn on the radio and dance around the house like a fool.
- Do something...anything. Please. We really need to take care of this obesity problem
